Agreed, Valium is certainly addictive, but perhaps less likely to induce a compulsive habit than short acting benzos like Xanax? Take too much Xanax and it will wear off within the day and you'll probably be left wanting more, but Valium is another story. I once ate half a month's prescription of Valium (about 280mg) an hour before giving a presentation to my physics class. I don't remember the presentation to this day, or how I got home either. I woke in bed the next afternoon with my coat zipped up and shoes still on my feet. I've taken other benzos compulsively like this since, (mostly Klonopin) but it was a mistake I never repeated with Valium.

My *ex* psychiatric nurse was trained in psychopharmacology by that same lady professor and to my dismay remained a fan all throughout his career.
