"other than drowsiness for about 45 minutes after taking it,  great medicine!  works in like 10 minutes,  so if i feel a panic attack coming on i take my dosage and before i know it i&#039;m calm.  it enables me to go into mass public places and can go into crowded restaurants with my family.  valium has given me a huge part of my life back.  i know most doctors are against it because dope heads have abused this type of drug.  you can only get it from a psychiatrist now but it saved my social life so i see the shrink monthly!  thanks valium"
