I don't know WHY everyone loves this medication. I have tried the REAL Roche Brand Valium AND the generic and they both suck; either on high or low doses.

I don't know WHY everyone loves this medication. I have tried the REAL Roche Brand Valium AND the generic and they both suck; either on high or low doses. I have severe anxiety, PTSD and symptoms of DID. My old psych. thought this was med was the messiah of benzos! The only thing that works for me is lorazepam/Ativan, Klonopin/clonazepam or Xanax/alprazolam - which I do not like taking, but will they will help my panic. I had a severe panic attack with dissociation and kept taking diazepam and waited and waited for it to work to kill the attack - it took forever. If I had any other Benzo, like lorazepam or Klonopin it would have killed the panic attack in 20 minutes. Thumps down for diazepam for me. However, everyone is different. It's supposed to be a good med to wean off other benzos.

This medication has saved my life. I suffer from chronic anxiety and no other medications have helped. I have tried so many. I started taking it 30 years ago and many Dr's have advised that I stop. I did stop for 1 year about 8 years ago and it was the worst year that I can remember. I hate that it is habit forming but it is the only thing I have found that helps me get through the day. ...

This medication has saved my life. I suffer from chronic anxiety and no other medications have helped. I have tried so many. I started taking it 30 years ago and many Dr's have advised that I stop. I did stop for 1 year about 8 years ago and it was the worst year that I can remember. I hate that it is habit forming but it is the only thing I have found that helps me get through the day. I will probably have to take if for the rest of my life and I am fine with that, if only every new doctor I saw would not try to be the one who can get me off of it!! They make it for a reason. I keep my dosage between 10 and 20 mg per day.
