does valium make anxiety worse

[gordie1]

Hi there been really anxious the last few days about travelling 20 miles to see my brother, I didnt sleep at all last night I took 5mg at 3pm and another 5mg at 8pm to help me relax but I feel it has made things worse for me. And I took 5mg the night before last

Now I am not going to see him at all and feeling really bad after not having slept all night I dont feel I could face the journey.

But still feeling really edgy I dont know whether I should take another valium I honestly feel it makes things worse for me and not better

Hi Gordie I am wondering the same, been taking quite a bit lately and still feel awful. I wonder if anybody has any experience of long term diazepam use then stopping.
