I have depression, anxiety and PSTD. I have some bad days and Diazepam is my drug of choice as it seems to level me out and even 5mg puts me in a much better mood. My other half tells me to take them some days. I am glad when someone else knows I am in trouble as I may not know it as I am sure others may not know either. But what a relief to me and anyone around me Diazpam is. I wish I had ...

I have suffered with anxiety, and feelings of panic for over 20 yrs. This is the best, most effective medicine for me. I can still drive, work, and carry on a normal life. But I will have to remain on it the rest of my life. All pshcho's would tell me is take a deep breath, take a walk, read a book, find your happy place. None of these things worked. Most Dr.s dont want to give out anxiety meds. B ...

Have taken this for approx 3 yr, 2mg-3times daily, have not had to increase, but always need this amount, no help with sleeping- but stops the anxiety, slows my racing thoughts, and worry over nothing! Will most likely have to go off if more is required, and take something else, but has worked longer than any other I have taken, and have tried many. Have to take 5 mg of Diazpam maybe once or twi ...
