valium

i suffer from social anxiety and wondered if valium would help, i dont want to take it on a daily basis just when theres like a social gathering. how much would i need to take if its just a on a one off basis? does anyone else do this?
cheers

I think you need to talk to your GP about this. They don't give out valium (diazepam) easily and when they do prescribe it, it usually a very low dose for a short period of time. as I have found out myself it can come become addictive

Your GP may suggest other medication to help deal with your anxiety and possibly counselling or CBT.

Good luck xxx

Hi there - Taking valium never stays a "one off" for very long. I have been withdrawing from it for 18 months and it's been hell - don't do it! Speak to your GP about a low dose SSRI if you really feel that you cannot do without.
