"i had have valium for 4 years for anxiety and panic attacks. it works in the beginning but the last 2 years had been a hard struggle with witdrawal symptoms and it is a drug that is really powerful and will make u addicted to it. it is so hard to stop with valium and the taper had take almost 2 years!!! i have 40 mg in the beginning and is now on 11,25 mg. will continue ten mor weeks. thw w/d is the worst thing i ever felt. it makes me so sick. and i dont wish my worst enemy this. never start with a benzo if u dont want to destroy your life fpr ever. in sweden the smallest amount is 2,5 mg, we dont have fluid so i made my own titration. valium had stole 2 years of my life ..."
