Hi Ciaran
Diazepam 2 mg is a very low dose..even twice a day. There are 5mg and 10mg tablets so you really are on the lowest. They should not make you dependant at this
dosage and when you feel a bit better I have no doubt that your GP will advise you how to discontinue them. I was on 5mg three times a day for a long time but came off them gradually and have not had them since. Good luck.

Thank you, thats made me feel alot better!

I agree! 2mg is a low dose and you'll be fine! You wont become dependant and the doctor will make sure you reduce it first so you will be OK!

Thank you! I know it sounds silly, I guess I just needed to be reassured but thank you.
