I have been diagnosed with this debilitating disease and though the medical council would most likely be horrified to learn that i have been taking high doses of Diazepam 30/40mg. With this amount of this drug in my system i found for the first time in a long while that i could Run as i had need after leaving my cash at the ATM, unfortunately by the time id reach the ATM either a person near took my money or it was retrieved by the machine. Though my point is without Diazepam im knackered just walking in the street, so there must be some link between this drug and how it alleviates the symptoms of COPD even if it only last for about eight hours. Can i please get some clarity on how without I'm breathless without though able to run with this drug in ones system? Is there any others out there with the same experience?

    @mark14566   I am not medically trained, I can remember, however when this drug was first became available.  It was called Valium (sp) it's slang name was mothers' little helpers and prescribed to any mother who found the strain of looking after children  ( and being a housewife) too much of a strain.

    Good gracious I never knew Diazapram used to be called Vallium!  I was prescribed this under the name of Vallium way back in the 70's and it used to make me feel spaced out and confused.  I was suffering from depression not anxiety though so no wonder it didn't really help me.  x

      Its more like a Xanax....more for mental, not physical pain. I think they wanted to keep you calm bc back in the day I remember they would prescribe Valium WITH a pain killer...so that makes sense.
