Benzo's - Valium (Diazepam) for anxiety?

Posted by RSidney on December 26, 2009, at 18:12:17

I have been using Clonazepam, Ativan, and limited xanax in doeses ranging from 1mg-2mg 3x per day. However NONE of these are effective at cutting my anxiety to the degree of providing sufficient relief.

I am considering asking my doctor for some Valium for my anxiety symptoms. I have always considered Valium to be a more high powered, more addictive drug than the other Benzo's, but at this point I may need it to get through some anxiety.

Does anybody have experience using Valium for anxiety??

How bout 40 years worth? Except when ativan new, xanax, klonopin depressed me. I had fabulous results when Miltown still available with 5mg valium three times a day. When anxiety was controlled simply stopped the miltown. I knew nothing about meds at the time and absolutely no withdrawal. Must say the doc was shocked but that is what happened. Through years off and on benzos at various doses. Only meds to truly allow me to be normal and very successful in my eyes. Now take 7mg of valium or less and 1mg of xanax at night. My chemistry has changed no longer get the ahhhh I'm so relaxed feeling. Also take low dose luvox 50mg. Nothing is perfect and this sure isn't but at least up and out and doing stuff. Love Phillipa ps I've heard that valium is the weakest of the benzos????
