question: Hi, I suffer from anxiety attacks. They usually start in the morning. I ve discovered that if I take 2.5 mg (two point five) of diazepam first thing in the morning, it will stave off my attacks. If I wait until an attack occurs, I have to take more than 2.5 mg to calm it down. I m just wondering if it s safe to take 2.5 mg of diazepam every morning for long periods of time. (I ve tried other benzodiazepines, but they had side effects I couldn t live with.) Thanks!
