Long term use of Valium is addictive. Therefore, you might want to revisit the reason you are taking it. Do you really need to take it any more? The body develops a tolerance over time and it may be that you don't need it. you must go off of it slowly.
As far as a substitute is concerned, you must discuss with your doctor the original reasons for taking it. If it is due to anxiety your doctor might try newer and more effective medicines in the anti-depressent category.
The question of substitute really is better rephrased by saying
re-evaluate your need for it and then establish what the best medicine is available.

Kava Kava extract calms the nerves naturally and also gives a feeling of well being. Valium calms the nerves but is also a depressant.
