No, but I'd be willing to try it for treatment purposes. I only used Valium when I was in my 20's to get a buzz.

I take one 10mg tablet daily. I used to take xanax; but the valium keeps my heartrate down so I don't feel as anxious. But when I know I'm going somewhere where I think I will panic, I take a xanax to work quickly to calm me right away.

Valium and Xanax are addictive. They also have a tendency to erase your memory. I took it one night for muscle spasms and completely forgot the entire evening. I had scene a movie and I honestly couldn't remember seeing it. Valium might be okay for the short term, but long term I'd recommend an alternative treatment.

Yes, definatlely helps.

hey any one ever had a anxiety attc when haveing sex? i have i was just wantingt i know if any one elas has.

I think when anxious that sex does help for a little while, gives off happy hormones as does exersice.It also helps to a good relationship, ive been married nearly 20 years, it keeps a healthy happy marraige and also opens up the lines for communication with oneanother which is important.
Husbands seem to want to help more and listen more and be in much better mood lol.

I have found that sexual contact helps my ansiety a lot!!

When i'm down, my husband says "not enough sex".. I think he is right.

Sex can be a good instant help for anxiety. The problem is to get aroused. When u're anxious and on the verge to have panic attacks, you can't really focus on "getting busy".
However, it's true, Sex releases endorphines into your system and those natural drugs can make your anxiety level drop. I tried it numerous time, sometimes it worked great, sometimes it felt like dying having an orgasm..but nor in a good way.
Good luck

Techincally and far as I know scintifically sex is suppose to not only relax you but release your tensions as well ...so yes it can help

can't answer that one. i get so depressed and anxious i'm not even interested in my own self. i would laugh except it is,unfortunately, true. love.devonh

well, o.k. then,what is this that i commented on valium for anxiety?. i most assuredly did not. i have enough problems.i am in recovery and even a fool knows valium is not only addictive but is very problematical to detox from (as in dangerous). doug, remove that comment from before this one. s--t, alcohol has given me enough problems.with the emtional ones neck to neck. thank you.devonh
p.s.it shows me commenting on message board.

Never tryed that one. Sorry I can't help.

I have been on valium for anxiety but like anything elses it stops working.
No side effects, no problems stopping taking it, would just need alot more than the reccommened dose to actualy help.

Any endorphins are good, exercise, sex anything that gets those natural relaxation chemicals floating round the body will help. But for anxiety people usually can be triggered into attacks through heavy breathing... so if you do have panic attacks because of sex... try to realise it's the misinterpretation of symptoms (i.e. heavy breathing) not the sex that causes a panic attack. :) enjoy !!
