"my saviour, suffered severe anxiety panic attacks constantly for the last 4 wks heart racing trembling stomach, tried numerous meds citalapram, sertraline, prozac etc which all made my anxiety much worse. my dr prescribed 5mg twice daily of diazipam, morning &amp; night i take 2.5mg in the evening a quarter in the morning &amp; the other quarter in the afternoon so 5mg in all daily. it has instantly been a. lifesave and a wonder drug for me.  i don&#039;t plan on over doing it or staying on it for very long. but if anyone is suffering badly i would say there is no harm in giving it  a try. if you can -  the side effects from other meds i&#039;d tried was horrific &amp; with diazepam i&#039;ve had non.  i hope this helps"
