Valium (diazepam) for Anxiety: This medication helped me through a very difficult time in my life. I tried two different antidepressants that I could not tolerate. Valium helped me get my life together and allowed me to get the sleep I badly needed. I had no side effects.

Valium (diazepam) for Anxiety: I had panic attacks and I've always had pretty high levels of anxiety, but since I got put on valium I have not had one attack or even felt like I was stressed. I also stopped biting my fingernails down to the nub! A happy side effect was that I was told by my doctor to take it if my back started to hurt (because of my scoliosis) and since I started doing that my back has not "gone out" like it did SO much before!

Valium (diazepam) for Anxiety: I used to get severe panic attacks quite often. I started taking 10mg of Valium three times daily as prescribed by my psychiatrist, and after a year my dose has decreased to 5mg and I have never had another panic attack. Anxiety attack(or panic attacks) are very scary. I had made many trips to the emergency room thinking I was having a heart attack. I had symptoms like sweating, tingling in arms and legs, cold chills in face and a rapid heartbeat, feeling of hysteria, and wishing I would just die and get it over with.
Valium saved my life. It is very effective, and I am greatful it works.

Valium (diazepam) for Anxiety: Very wonderful drug for those that suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. Like Ativan, it has less of a moody after effect such as Klonapin and Xanax.

Valium (diazepam) : I have found this drug also acts as a muscle relaxant and aids in the pain relief efectiveness of Vicodin, oxycontin in 2.5-5mg
Dose, reducing the frequency of increacing the dose of these pain relievers due to developing a tolerance to these narcotic drugs in long term chronic pain illnesses such as mine. This drug also reduceses the stress and fatigue associated with my illness anwould most likely work well for other long term chronic pain illnesses such as Fibromialgia.
