Comparing Chlordiazepoxide vs Diazepam

For Alcohol Withdrawal: I've been drinking heavily for 11 years now. Lost many jobs because of my addiction. I've been a bartender for over 7 years. I've never once said I need help and could do it on my own. I know now I can't and need help. I've drank every single day for the past month over a 5th or more than 10 drinks (if at a bar/restaurant.) I definitely needed this medication. It's my second day and the shakes have worn off. The first day was difficult. I will say it definitely help take the shakes away, cravings and anxiety.I have a long road ahead of me, but I have faith, feel better and am optimistic about a sober future! These pills are saving my life! Highly recommend. Good luck to you all that have read this and are struggling with alcoholism!

For Alcohol Withdrawal: Binge drinking had become a serious problem. I would go for days without drinking or even the desire to have one. Then would meet up with drinking buddies one day and that was it. I went to a psychiatrist who prescribed Disulfaram in the morning and this drug in the evening. changed my life, been sober for 8 months now.

For Anxiety: I have suffered with anxiety all my life because of a difficult upbringing, Dad was away a lot in the Army. My first husband used to beat me up and my second husband was mean and kept me in the house. I turned to the Diazepams, I was given Valium, it helped a lot. I'm now almost 70 and still taking it.

For Anxiety: I suffer from crippling panic attacks and anxiety I'm 18 with diagnosed complex PTSD and a severe fear of death, I was put on 2mg of diazepam after a visit to A&E when a panic attack became totally unbearable and they made me take it there and then, they suggested I originally take it every 8 hours at the start and then just as needed, I’ve been on it for roughly 4 weeks now but I've stretched out the dosage to as needed, so every other day at least and if I can then every 3-5 days, I'm hoping to only need it on a once a week basis. Usually it calms me right down even with just 2mg (I'm allowed to take up to 5 pills a day every 2 hours but the most I've had has been 2 pills in a day) I do sometimes start panicking after taking it just because the pill itself scares me with all the horror stories regarding it. It really has helped my insomnia as well but it does make me feel very ill, give me headaches and at the very start it made me light headed
