>YES BUT, when you have to come off of Valium you will still go through a nasty withdrawal.
As I said, Valium softened the withdrawal compared to the shorter acting more popular benzos. Obviously if you were to quit a 120mg a day Valium habit cold turkey you would indeed suffer a horrible withdrawal syndrome. This is never recommended for any benzo though and generally speaking so long as you follow a taper, Valium produces the most kindest and most gentle return to sobriety.
I'm sure this is confirmed by Prof. Heather Ashton's research.
