Hi Hildi,
Hmmm, i'm sorry to hear that you have had this reaction to valium.
The first time I took the benzo Lorazepam I felt really weird, like I was trapped in a body with no feelings, very bizarre, made me feel uneasy. I tried to fight the feeling, but then decided just to relax and let it do its thing. I think it may be a case of feeling 'out of control', i think you have to just flow with the sedation, rather than think about it too much.
Valium is a comparatively weak benzo ( Lorazepam is roughly ten times stronger), I am just guessing here, but maybe the dosage just wasn't enough to quell your anxiety, especially with the extra anxiety associated with taking a new drug.
Good luck hildi,
regards,
Janejj
