"i had panic attacks and i&#039;ve always had pretty high levels of anxiety, but since i got put on valium i have not had one attack or even felt like i was stressed.  i also stopped biting my fingernails down to the nub!  a happy side effect was that i was told by my doctor to take it if my back started to hurt (because of my scoliosis) and since i started doing that my back has not &quot;gone out&quot; like it did so much before!"
