" yes for valium. Be careful because this is highly addictive. I took Xanax .25 mg twice a day. 1 of those .5 mg should take care of you the entire day if you take them in the morning. Check with your doc, or get another doc. That is too high and too much 3 times a day. "

" I agree with tdomino.
I am presently going through a controlled reduction of Diazepam and the withdrawal symptoms are unpleasant.
If you like yourself please give up Valium. "

" Hey my mum is on valium and i know she takes this in a high dose, yes she is addicted but she has been taking it for many many many years, your doctor wont just prescribe high doses for nothing, but YOU need to be aware they are VERY addictive.

i echo what others have said, just take when needed and try not to get into the habit of taking them daily.

if you can do this valium will be a great support! i take xanax.25 and i do take 1 tablet at night before bed i could take more in the day and some days i feel like doing, but ive never had too yet! so maybe try xanax. "
