hi all - so after deciding not to take the citalopram i have been really positive i have been out xmas shopping (although got hard towards the end) ive booked for a massage for tomorrow im starting slimming world next week and im trying to be really positive - i went back to the doc today to tell him i wasnt going to take the citalopram and he couldnt believe how positive i was but i asked him for something to carry with me so that if i did have a bad moment to the point where it was a bad panick i could take - he has given me diazepam - although he said i can only have two weeks worth every six months because of the fact they are addictive but said if u only use one when ur in dia situation they shoul last me !!

Hello -
I'm glad you're feeling more positive... I took diazepam (Valium) in my forties, in my pre-Klonopin days. I found that it did not completely lift my anxiety or panic attacks, but it definitely was calming, although it did not make me into a zombie or anything. I know a lot of people do become addicted to this drug, but I never had a problem going off it. Although I was on a moderately-high daily dose, I could go off it virtually overnight, with no side effects, if I was feeling better. But I know that the physicians are being more cautious about Valium lately, because a lot of people do become addicted and have trouble coming off it. I think it is helpful if you have moderate-level bouts of anxiety and you need some help getting through a time-limited period. I don't see it as a good choice for a long-term solution to intense anxiety. Good luck, Janet
