In reply to Valium induced anxiety??Help me benzo users!, posted by hildi on August 19, 2002, at 13:24:01
There are different reactions to the different bzds. There is xanax, ativan, valium, klonopin, and tranxene. Since you know their effect almost immediately (except for a little sedation which wears off after the first week or so) they're easy to try and see which works best for you.
I'm taking 1mg daily klonopin and ativan PRN for breakthrough anxiety or panic. Bzd monotherapy for anxiety is the only way to go for me...and seems to be regaining it's popularity after the fad of prescribing AD's for anxiety disorders is proving to be only partially effective at best.
