"i have suffered with anxiety and severe panic attacks for many years.

it is a godsend. initially anyway.

i have noticed over the years i&#039;ve had to increase the dose i take (which i&#039;ve never taken daily).

5mg of diazepam  (valium) never did much for me. but 7.5mg used to have a perfect effect. these days i need 15mg for that same affect. 

its a shame. and i thought i wasn&#039;t abusing it because i didn&#039;t take it daily. (generally 2 or 3 times a week, depending how i felt).

i&#039;m still giving it a high rating for the many times its helped me.  

but even taking it as prn has eventually caught up on me. if i don&#039;t take it for several days i start feeling sick. 

devastated to lose a medication that can work so well."
