Valium can be good for anxiety - it is considered stronger and somewhat more addictive than lorazepam, though. When you go to a doctor they will probably start you off on Lorazepam before you go on to Valium. That's a sin that you have to save up enough to go to a doctor - There isn't a free clinic around or your mother can't help you out? It just seems like if you have true anxiety which needs medication the longer you go without a doctor is just needless suffering. Take care, Jimbo

thats how things are in the states, man. i know canada has free health care for everyone. it doesn't make sense to me that private companies can "sell" insurance, and make money on top of it! WTF! thats something everyone needs. if you are a pregnant mom you can get free insurance as well as you can always go to the ER with out insurance but you're bill will be like 10,000$+. re: the post - i always thought lorazepam was better than valium because its short acting, it gets you high unlike valium really. however in my opinion both should work for anxiety, but everyday use of any benzo can be hazardous in a lot of ways. take the valium and tell your mom it worked very well. that way when you get to a doctor he will know what to write a script for. it sounds like you have generalized anxiety disorder, as opposed to panic attacks the come on every few days or in new situations. just don't use them everyday, you have to learn to cope with society a little bit. and when and if it gets really bad then you can take the benzos. just my opinion i am certainly no doctor, but i hope something i wrote helped you. good luck!

Yeah I wish my parents would help me too. Im 19 and i live at home and
they make me pay them rent $100.00 a month. I'm going to try to get a credit card then use it. What sucks is I can't get a grilfriend because my anxietys are so bad. I want one really bad its my #1 thing on my To Do List. Anyways heres an update I took the Valium this morning then I went to Votech. At first I thought I was feeling it just a tiny bit but I think it was all placebo because it didn't help me very much. I was still nervous. Maybe the dosage was too low?

Could be - You might need a higher doseage or different benzo. You definitely need a doctor. Good luck jimbo

so your mom gave you the valium, huh? dose your mom have any anxiety issues? Is she perscribed the medication? Often anxiety disorders run in familys and are passed on to offspring. If it is her medication and she dose have anxiety issues make sure your doctor knows what med shes on, and let him know how it worked for you. This can provide a good basis for trying diffrent meds.
I take Xanax for my anxiety issues and it helps like no other. Also just having the Xanax in my pocket allows for peace of mind. Sometimes the peace of mind is all I need, its nice to know that you have something to fall back on.

My mom was put on Valium because of panic attacks that she would get that we later found out were actually seizures. Although Her parents were also on medication. My grandma is Bi-polar and is taking ativan and effexor. My Grandpa had an anxiety disorder and was taking valium for it. So yeah I guess it does run in the family. Sorry i don't know what dose the valium was that my mom gave me it was either 2mg or 5mg.

i don't think 2 or 5mg of xanax would evendo anything to anyone, i have only felt non anxious when using at least 10mg on a completely empty stomach and even then it wasn't much.

pharmacy if it does well then Ill tell my doctor once I get some cash. What would you say would be a better benzo. for anxiety Valium or Xanax? Ive heard Xanax is stronger because its a fast acting benzo. but the problem would be that I would have to redose again that day right? Valium takes longer to come on but its long lasting? What would you recommend?

my bad i so meant to write valium 2-5 mg of xanax will fuck you up not just take away anxiety. believe me you want xanax not valium, valium is shit. start with one mg in the morning, and from there move on to another 1mg in the afternoon. this is a pretty serious drug, man. but don't be scared it just may save your life. one thing though, xanax is addicting so try not to take it everyday. if you must (which some peoiple have to depending on the degree of anxiety) you will need to taper off of it eventually. sudden stopping will cause serious withdrawls which can be fatal unlike heroin withdrawls.

 I've tried xanax a couple times a friend of mine gave me a couple of bars. I'm cautious with drugs so I started at .50mg and i didn't feel a thing. So I tried 1mg and didn't feel it a couple hours later I took another 1mg and still felt nothing. I think I naturally have a high tolerance to this stuff. Once I get my shipment in Im going to try 1.50mg and see what happens. My plan is to use this stuff and get a girlfriend once I complete this I will taper down. Use it only on occasions Edited by: Emperiorjack

I have anxiety issues as well and am prescribed either lorazepam or
xanax (most of the time I get lorazepam) and I notice that xanax only works when I take 1mg when I first get my 'scrip. The next day I find I have to bump it up to 1.5mg and so on. I don't like taking too many at once so I leave it alone for a few days and suffer through the anxiety. It's odd how other people can take it and it works, but I take it and it does nada. This is why I like lorazepam, it works.

hmm. my first post.
i have been sober for over 3 years, and i am now convinced my agonizing panic attacks were directly related to drugs and alcohol. but after about 8 months sober i got some real bad ones, while friggin sleeping of all places; woke up freaking out. went to the psych at kaiser and less than a month later, prozac solved it outright. after about a year of prozac, i stopped b/c my anxiety and panic attacks were gone. sure enough, now about a year off prozac (now), i have had a few heavy anxeity moments, and general feeling of dread. i think i will go back on pzac, but i really want to give benzo's a try, specifically valium, on the weekends to slow myself down. someone posted they tried one of those online/foreign sites, prob. similar to the ones that junk up my inbox. is it kosher to ask if anyone has had success getting generic valium online and where? also, what is the call on eating both prozac and valium together? thx torrent

Hey buddy, Glad that you are clean. This post probably belongs in recovery and addiction. A big no-no is to ask for sources. The mods really don't like it. It's basically the most important rule. Prozac and valium together is a common combination.

Okay I got my xanax in from the mail. I took 2 1mg pills before work.
Within 1 hour i could slightly feel it coming on and I was glad. I was hoping this was just the beginning and the feeling would get stronger. 1 hour later the feeling got weaker in fact i couldn't feel it at all now. I was pretty dissappointed by this. Then I see a girl that I have a crush on walk in and I immediately get an anxiety attack. I ignored it and talked to her for awhile. Once she left I walked around a bit to try to settle back down and popped another 1mg pill of xananx. This didn't do much either anyways she came back in again later on that night and I got another anxiety attack I ignored once again and said hi to her and talked for awhile. This is crazy my tolerance shouldn't be so high to a drug I have barely ever taken. ANyone know why this is? Im going to try 4 mg's worth of Xanax tomorrow and see what happens.

okay took 4mg's worth of xanax before school started and it
started coming on in about one hour . But again the feeling felt weak and later i was really sleepy. It seems Xanax has more of a body load on me then a mental load. It didn't do much for my mind at all and easilly still see myself getting anxiety attacks still. Anyone opinions on what I else I could try for anxietys?

that is weird. you are telling me you took 4mg and you weren't stumbling around stoned as fuck!? 4mg sober should get any and everyone high. are you eating this stuff with alot of food in your stomach, that could definantly make a differance. does anyone else find this odd?

was probably equivalent to a small buzz from beer. I was mostly sleepy and really tired didn't do much mentally for me. I took this stuff on an empty stomach too. Is there anything else I can take for anxieties I don't think I like xanax it makes me too tired without much mental effects.

worry about that. Anyways I took 2mgs today because I wanted to give this girl I really like a call to see what the chances of us getting together would be. Just the thought of calling her up made my heart beat a million miles a second and my breathing deeper. Anyways after about 40 minutes of taking the meds I called her and yes my heart was still beating fast. We talked for about 20-30 minutes half-way through the convo. i guess the meds kicked in cause I felt less nervous and after the phone call I got up and walked to put the phone up and I could feel a small beer like impaired movement like what I had with 4mgs. It seemed like 2mgs worked better this time than 4mgs did last time. It could be related to me taking Ziacom the night before for a party and me drinking a couple of beers which made me sick  . Now I think im allergic to alcohol it always makes me feel like crap Im never drinking again.
