i am currently taking valium or was until i ran out before i should have, valium does wonders for my anxiety but i do have a history of drug abuse, so yeah i did abuse the valium but i also know i could use it to help, same problem with xanax, klonopin didn't really give me the feeling that i wanted to abuse it, but wasn't as good with the anxiety, are there any others out there that give u that relaxed feeling but don't leave u wanting more in 30 mins, or am i ****** cuz of my so called addictive personality and yes i am on paxil so i know all about the ssri's

Diazepam is a benzodiazepine. It is not intended for long term medication. It is addictive. Physical dependence occurred in 100% of subjects in a long term use study. Withdrawal from diazepam is difficult and symptoms like alcohol or drug withdrawal are present and may be present even after short term use. I'm sure you know all this.
I suggest joining Narcotics anonymous and getting your prescribing physician to put you on a tapering off regimen. It can only get worse if you stay on Valium.
Good luck with recovering from addiction, good mental health, peace and Love!
