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...

For years, Ive been addicted to opiates. Starting with heroin, and years of pill popping, and I finally ended up in a methadone clinic. After a year in the clinic, my detox was complete. The withdrawl I experienced from methadone was like no other. I missed work for almost a month, and didnt sleep for 7-10 days. Not a wink. By the time I saw a doctor, I was a nervous wreck, losing my mind. He prescribed Valium for sleep, the trembling, and the anxiety. Having a history of panic attacks and anxiety, I never had taken anything that actually relieved me of those symptoms. I have been off opiates and so called "treatment" opiates like methadone for a month and a half now, and I couldnt have done it without the medicine, and the help of family and friends.

I have taken this for about 30 years now for Menieres Disease. It not only calms my inner ear, it calms me from the panic of an attack. I recommend this medication. It helps me a lot. I take 5 mg daily.

I used to get stressed out easily, get mad and stay in a bad mood sometimes for hours. I have been taking 5 mg as needed under doctor's orders for a couple of months now. When I feel really stressed I will take 1 pill and within 15 to 20 minutes these feelings subside and I can function without dwelling on the irritants. Lately I do not have to take this medication as much, it has truly helped me cope with daily functions. I may only take it a couple times a week now, as opposed to a couple times a day in the beginning. I had been given anti-depressants in the past and they made me not care about anything, and my life went down hill. When I was on and As I was trying to get off the a-d's I became depressed, which I was not depressed to begin with. Everyone is different, but Diazepam has helped me tremendously.Read More Read Less

Great! I prefer Ativan, but I believe that Ativan is more addictive, so diazepam is a great compromise. I'm also on DEXEDRINE (dextro-amphetamine), Cialis (tadalafil), Lexapro (for depression), and Abilify (which supplements the Lexapro wonderfully for my depression. Yea I'm 26 but I take more meds than my grandparents combined lol.

This medication did make me a bit uncoordinated and drowsy the first time I took it, but afterwards it made me feel so much better. I was also taking this for muscle pain and now it's like it was never there!

I have been on Diazepam for two years now. It is great for panic/anxiety attacks. I take a 5 mg pill when needed. At first, they made me a little dizzy, but now, they don't. I can take them when I have to drive or deal with rude people and they do not hinder me at all.

Reason for Taking This: Ménière's Disease. I have been using this for 15 months to treat acute vertigo associated with Ménière's Disease. It has been very useful in treating symptoms of the strong vertigo attacks that I experience 1 to 5 times per month. When I have a severe case of vertigo I use 10 to 30 mg per day for 1-3 days until the symptoms subside. Sometimes I use 5 to 10 mg to help with a mild vertigo attack with a short duration (4-6 hours). This drug has helped me manage my symptoms and has 'given me my life back' compared to the time I spent prior to being prescribed diazepam. It doesn't totally eliminate the veritigo but it does reduce it and helps me to endure the attacks of dizziness. Side Effects: I sometimes feel drowsy or not as mentally sharp as I'd like to be. My experience with this drug is that it often causes mild constipation. Recommend eating lots of fruits and vegetables when taking.Read More Read Less

I have tried several medications they all have severe side effects. Diazebam has worked the best for me it does not cure me but it reduces my anxiety or panic by atleast 50% I only take 5 miligrams on a need basis..I am in college and making presentations is nerve racking...It does help but it has a little bit of a confusing cloud to it.It is the best panic or anxiety pill I have found...

First of all, I'd like to address this other readers review, which posted in 2009 as follows: WHAT COLOR IS THE DIAEZPAM ITS THE 10 MGS I TAKE 2 IN MORING 2 IN AFTERNOON AND 2 BEFORE BED FOR MUSCLE RELAXTION SPASMS. WHAT DO YOU THINK I SHOULD DO, SPOKE WITH medical clinic they said they will check on this i get my meds from IVAX IN MIAMI,TELL ME WHAT TO DO Sir or madam, I think you're taking too much Valium as your comment makes absolutely no sense at all. Now, as for my own personal experience with Valium. I was on 5mg 2X daily and then 10mg 2X daily. Valium is a godsend. Even better than Xanax.Read More Read Less
