Definitely a life destroyer.
Diazepam is only the generic name for valium, they are one and the same (as is Librium, just a stronger version of valium).
I was given Valium about 20 years ago for sleep disorders. Sure it made me sleep - I slept for 10 hours a night; but did I wake up feeling refreshed? No!. Because diazepam is a CNS depressant. It makes you sleepy, but it depresses REM sleep. REM sleep is the bit that refreshes you mentally (non-REM sleep might refresh you physically, but I think the jury is out on that one). After realising that it was making me sleep but also making me feel more tired, I gave up.
I count myself lucky that I was not persuaded to take it for longer. From what I have read recently, it is very addictive and causes more problems than it solves.
However, having had large doses of diazepam in single pre-op IV injections, I can say that it has its attractions in short term high doses.... mmmmmmmmmmmm!

Valium=Rolls Royce
Diazepam=Old Banger
Choose Valium 10mg anyday from Roche.

For some people life was starting to be destroyed before taking Valium so the drug helps until something better comes along!

Its so addictive that what starts as a little helper rapidly becomes a life destroyer. There are other things available now that aren't so addictive or destructive that can help just as much. xxx

Excellent tune alternatives. I decide upon mother by way of PF. Not to take whatever away for the stones, i just like that one higher. What about Mamma Im comin house by Ozzy or Mamma relatives via Aerosmith?

Used correctly and for a short(4-6 weeks) period of time it can be a very effective drug. Any longer and it can destroy your life if misused
