Well, the reason I don't care for Valium is because, though I'm not exactly familiar with the dosage, I was given 15 mg and quite frankly it did very little for me. I have a rather bad case of generalized anxiety disorder, and I can honestly say it barely took the edge off of it. I suppose I could have gone higher, I don't know. I'm prescribed 2 mg of Xanax, which continues to work like a charm to this day.
