Hi there,
I am hoping someone will be able to advise me on Diazepam.
I have suffered for many years with anxiety but recently I feel anxious most days. In the past my doctor has given me antidepressants but they made me worse. I have also had CBT but it didn't help long term.
I feel my anxiety has been getting worse and some days I can't cope. I had a really bad weekend and couldn't get a dr appointment so I took 2mg of Diazepam which my mum keeps for emergencies.
I felt so much better and the tightness in my chest eased and I felt I could think straight for the first time in ages.
I have a dr appointment for next week, but I am worried he won't suggest Diazepam. I know it can be addictive but I really only want it short term to try and give my mind a break.
Does anyone take a low dose to maintain their anxiety?
