Anxiety
"I rate diazepam a &quot;10&quot;, it&#039;s still the best &amp; safest in it&#039;s class -- but only when taken very sparingly. I liken it to a &#039;fire extinguisher&#039;, use only in case of emergency. If you take on a daily schedule (e.g., 3 times a day, every day) then you&#039;re making yourself a slave, and you&#039;ll be dull-witted &amp; stupid much of the time. Just like reliance on any pill. We owe it to our families, friends, employers and ourselves to be productive, happy and helpful.



I have the 5 mg. tablets in case of emergency. It acts fast, not too strong. There&#039;s no craving for &#039;another pill&#039; hours or even days later, because it&#039;s very long acting. Be smart. Use only in case of real emergency and it&#039;s the best."
