Comment:
mylan's brand of valium, like many generics, is not even half as effective as the real thing; the product is cheap and quality is crappy. don't the cheap rip off versions get tested and checked by the FDA? no matter what doctors and pharmasists say, generic are poor substitues for the real meds they claim to be. anyone who's had the name brand of valium will no what i'm talking

Comment:
I use Diazepam for anxiety and insomnia a couple of days a week. Overall its a very effective medication but as with all benzodiazepines tolerance builds up over a few weeks and months. I find the anxiolytic effects remain fairly constant but with daily use its loses most of its efficacy at treating insomnia. Physically addictive so only use once or twice weekly now
