Anxiety
"I had nasal surgery (septoplasty/latera splints) (1st surgery scheduled &amp; 2nd was emergency surgery in 8 day span).  During consultation I mentioned that I&#039;m not a mouthbreather and was anxious about breathing issues (not being able to breath or stop/dying in my sleep).  He gave me Valium to assist with the anxiety.  This medication is wonderful...it&#039;s only short term for me as I&#039;m recovering from post-op traumatic experience.  Took it twice daily during the first 11 days now I take it only at bed-I feel rested when I wake up and I&#039;m not crying/shaking/emotional when asked about the surgeries (yes it was horrible bc thats how they found out I&#039;m allergic to silicone).  I will be coming off this med in a month or 2"
