"i try not to use them often, i usually just try to put up with my anxiety because i don&#039;t want to go on antidepressants as none of them have worked for my anxiety and made my mood worse. so i find valium when i really need it fantastic, it is quick and no side effects for me. it&#039;s a pity the doctors don&#039;t like prescribing it, people who abuse it make it hard for someone like me who really needs it in times of severe anxiety."
