"i only use it when i&#039;m having a panic attack (5mg) and it&#039;s incredibly effective. just knowing it&#039;s there can be enough to stave off panic. should never be used for mild anxiety, or used regularly, because it&#039;s important to use your own resources to deal with that, and you can become tolerant - but for those occasions when you feel you&#039;re losing control, there&#039;s nothing more effective that diazepam. doctors hate prescribing it - they assume you don&#039;t know how to use it responsibly."
