In reply to Is Valium less habit forming cause long half life?, posted by qbsbrown on December 9, 2006, at 0:08:17
Valium is just as habit forming as any other benzo. Yes, the half life is longer, but if you had to stop the valium, you would still need to taper off and it wouldn't be easy. And you build a tolerance to it just like any other benzo.
