Anxiety
"I have been taking valium for 15 years for sleep and anxiety 15-30mg.  This drug has worked good through the years but I have begun to notice memory and balance issues so I decided to get off of it. The first time I quickly tapered and one night I awoke to a racing heart beat, tremors, &amp; an intense feeling like my head, face, &amp; back were on fire. I had to go back on because of this. Now I&#039;m doing a slow taper so far have gone from 15mg to 7.5mg over 4 months. Going from 15-10mg was easy but going under 10mg has been very difficult at times. For years I was very much positive about this drug but I do not think you should take it for more than a month unless you just have to have it. Just be careful withdrawals can kill."
