I wonder all of the time about the negative vibes toward Valium from docs. Years ago when my anxiety reached its first crisis, Valium is what was given to me. It worked tremendously well, without the paradoxical, funny,goofy, effects that Xanax has given me. No doubt about it, Pharma hype has a big role in the false perception of Valium as being dirtier and less effective than the other benzos. But Xanax is a triazolo Benzo, and all I know is that it messes with my moods, and does not help give me predictable calming. The Xanax XR that my current Psych is in love with, is even worse. I still have to take it a couple of times a day, and at higher daily doses than regular xanax. The Valium would be so much easier. I just felt more natural and like myself on it. Anyone with similar experiences?
