"i&#039;ve been on 5mg of diazepam (valium) for several years now.  my prescription calls for 2 pills/day per month.  the 60 pills usually last me 4-6 months, so i don&#039;t need to take them all the time.  when i get a panic attack 1 pill usually takes care of it. if not, i take another one a few hours later.  i have tried many anxiety meds, this is the only one that seems to work."
