"i have had trouble sleeping for over 25 years and about 10 years ago started having panic or anxiety attacks in the morning. i tried xanax, the side effects made me depressed and angry. valium has always worked well with little or no side effects. i take 5mg in the morning and 10 mg at bedtime and this works great. i have been on the same dosage for about 9 years and have had no problems. i would highly recommend this as opposed to xanax or other benzodiazepines."
