Its a presciption drug for the management of anxiety disorders or for the short-term relief of the symptoms of anxiety. I counsel prisoners and ex-offenders. Many of them were drug addicts. Some of them take valium as a substitute to other addictions. Common symtoms of someone on valium addiction which i have personally witnessed: forgetfulness, sleepiness (can fall asleep in a middle of a conversation) and even weak bladder control while sleeping.
