I've been taking Valium to treat anxiety for almost 2 years and recently stopped. My anxiety has been a persistent issue and I found the Valium helped me accomplish a number of things I'd been unable to for years before such as going back to school, changing careers, driving (it sounds so stupid but its a big deal) and even managed to have extra energy/motivation to launch an arts community/site.
The general motivation issue is what I'm currently finding most challenging. Going out in public is manageable but exhausting. Since I've stopped the Valium I've fallen back into doing just enough to get by. Work, minimal social interactions, obsessive avoidance (games, movies).
I'm considering trying Provigil (currently on Stablon which I'll continue, but I'm not getting remarkable results). Does anyone with generalized anxiety have any experience with this?
I've spent 30 years just getting by and its hard to just curl up and go back to sleep.
