My GP prescribed me Diazepam 4 weeks ago. I was in such a state with anxiety that i was on 30 mg a day.
I took this dosage for 2 weeks and then he said that was enough. I have had terrible trouble coming off them after being on such a high dose. I have been put on them a couple of times before and have had the same trouble. I have a friend who is a nurse and she says they are one of the most addictive medecines out there.
All I can say is to please be carefull when using this medication. In my experience the effects of not taking it have caused me more emotional distress then before I started taking it. I know there are very good reasons for taking it but there is also a down side to Diazepam.
Hope this helps
