anxiety
"Diazepam is ok  in the very short term but is highly addictive and withdrawing from it will give you panic attacks, a real cold turkey sensation. Took me 6 months to get off it but still felt panicky at times. I was recently given it for head aches and tension after 30 years off it and can't say I was happy taking it even short term. It did relieve my tension after 3 days. I decided no more and although my sleeping is not good, it is better to soldier on without it if you can. Controlled breathing, lavender oil to breath in and pressure points to lower blood pressure were used instead. I feel better and brighter now by using self control. It is so easy to take a tablet and there maybe times you may have to if  it is a one off option."
