I don't understand why doctors are so anti valium in the US, it's probably the best benzo I have ever taken for anxiety. It worked so much better for me than clonazepam ever did. It's funny how it works, North America "generally" tends to prescribe clonazepam as a long acting benzo and the rest of the world "generally" prescribes valium if a long acting benzo is needed. Clonezepam is not on label for anxiety in Australia, you have to have epilepsy to get it unless you have an open minded pdoc like mine who let me give it a try and I didn't like it. I found it way too strong and it really messed with my head, making it hard to focus and left me feeling like my head was stuffed with cotton wool. It also gave me shocking headaches. Valium rocks for anxiety. It just brings you back down to earth and lets you function normally. Good luck I hope that was of some help.
