"diazepam helps me through the days of anxiety. helps me cope with going to crowded places. sadly my doctor only will give me only 14 per one month prescription. so i have to carefully schedule, when i can go shopping, or attend a movie, or other activity. i&#039;ve been on this medication for 12 years. it has changed how i react in crowded elevators, ( i also have claustrophobia ) and how i deal with anxieties. doctor prescribed several other drugs for depression, no matter how often i tell him , i am not depressed and those meds make me feel bad. i sometimes wonder if my doctor knows the difference between depression and anxiety"
