Anyone else taking this?  I find it helps so much but am afraid of becoming dependent on it, I try to take as little as possible but as I am going through AD withdrawal my anxiety is very high at the moment, anyone else take it daily?

    I have Lorazepam (same thing) I have not taken any in a while but I do have them if I need them. I have been trying to change my thinking and deep breathing instead. For me it seems to work but not for everyone!

      I wonder if you would mind me asking, if you had taken 3 x 5mg valium, would you drink ANY alcohol at all with these?
