I deal with pretty bad anxiety.. And I can get these valiums off my buddy, their 10mg mylan ones.. I took two of them before and It calmed me down quite a bit; But I thought they'd do the job a lot better..
Anyone know the recommended doseage for these when dealing with pretty bad anxiety; I actually have a 1 or 2 panic attacks a day hah.. And meds sometimes are the only thing that'll calm me down or keep me put in one place.. Not to mention my sleep is horrible If i dont take some sort of tylenal or something like that..

about the valuum...
i take 2mg klonipin and i have horrible anxiety. it takes at least 2 to have any effect...i would reccomend taking chlonidine 0.3 mg. they calm you down a lot better than the valuum do. they are for blood pressure so i wouldn't take em if you're blood pressure is fine...i had a bad experience.

I THINK THAT POST SHOWS WHY...
I THINK THAT LAST POST SHOWS WHY YOU SHOULD LISTEN TO GTRPLAYER'S POST...YOUR DOC CAN CHECK BLOOD PRESSURE AND OTHER THINGS. I HAVE BEEN ON VALIUM, XANAX, AND KLONOPIN FOR A LONG TIME NOW AND I WOULD NEVER FEEL COMFORTABLE TELLING SOMEONE ELSE WHAT THEY SHOULD OR SHOULD NOT TAKE IN DOSAGE...YOU REALLY NEED A DOCTOR TO LOOK AT "YOU".

about my experience
today i had to go to the doc. i was withdrawling really bad and hadn't slept in two days, maybe more. i had a test taken on my heart and it found an irregular heart beat. i'm really worried, i thought it was such a mild drug, but now i'm really paying for it. it had to be the worst weekend of my life...i've never even withdrawn that bad after getting off oxycontin. Be very careful...and be honest with your doc. they can't do what they're supposed to do if you don't tell them what you're doing.

Thanks guys... I plan on
Thanks guys... I plan on seeing someone to help me, probably not a doctor maybe a physcologist or something.. I'am not lieing when I say I have terrible anxiety, i've tried to handle it cold turkey without meds and I end up staying late up in the night and only getting 2-3 hours of sleep.. Or sometimes I got to school with no sleep at all.. Valium and other meds seem to help me sleep a lot better and deal with my anixety issues..
As for heart problems or stuff of that sort I really never had that checked up with a doctor.. I think the last time i dealed with a doctor was when I got my wisdom teeth pulled and was prescribed vicodins.. Which was years ago, and that wasn't really a doctor, it was a dentist.. Heh

I also struggled with
I also struggled with anxiety a few years ago and found that Xanax is what worked the best for me (alprazolam). Valium and Ativan didn't seem to do the job - I would recommended goign to a psychiatrist and having them work with you to find out what works the best.

WHILE CERTAINLY NO DOCTOR...
WHILE CERTAINLY NO DOCTOR...I HAVE BEEN ON AND OFF THESE MEDS (VALIUM, XANAX, AND KLONOPIN) FOR A DECADE AND YOU EITHER HAD OTHER MED ISSUES OR ARE ONE IN A MILLION...XANAX, OR KLONO I COULD SEE, BUT VALIUM, WHERE YOU STILL HAVE IT IN YOUR BLOOD 200 HOURS AFTER YOU'VE TAKEN IT??? I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF A HARDCORE WITHDRAWAL FROM IT, UNLESS YOU WERE ON SOOO MUCH, BUT I TAKE 40mg - 60 mg OF VALIUM A DAY...IT USED TO BE AVAILABLE AT EVERY DRUG STORE OVER THE COUNTER 'TIL NOT TOO LONG AGO...ALWAYS CALLED "MOMMY'S LITTLE HELPER", FAMOUS FOR EASING THE STRESSES OF HOUSEWIVES. AS I SAID, I AM NO DOCTOR, BUT I THINK YOU MAY HAVE HAD SOMETHING ELSE GOING ON, EVEN PSYCHOLOGICAL WITHDRAWAL...BUT COMING OFF VALIUM IS LIKE A FEATHER SLOWLY FLOATING TO EARTH...NOW XANAX AND THE OTHERS, THAT'S DIFFERENT, INFACT, THEY OFTEN RX VALIUM TO GET PEOPLE OF XANAX AND OTHER BENZO'S...
JUST DIDN'T WANT ANYONE GETTING FREAKED OUT ABOUT SUCH A MILD MEDICINE...WE ALL REACT DIF TO THEM, PERHAPS YOU HAD AN ISSUE, BUT BY NO MEANS WAS YOURS THE NORM

i would have to agree that
i would have to agree that just about any medication for anxiety has a real risk of dependency. you probably shouldn't just stop taking it cold turkey, unless you are a rarety. i think you should slowly reduce the amount you're taking until you feel comfortable stoping use. it can cause serious health problems and it doesn't feel too comfortable at all if you just stop usage...at least that is my experience. withdrawl is the worst feeling in the world. it just seems like 40mg of valuum is quite a bit...just my opinion though.

Valium isn't even indicated...
for severe panic disorder. Xanax or Klonopin are only drugs in the US currently indicated for panic disorder. Now if you're talking GAD, that's a dif. story. But you said PANIC attacks, so...try going to a doctor; Valiums really not gonna do anything for you except aid you in developing a wicked benzo. habit with minimal symptom relief.
Best wishes
Honestly, if you continue to self medicate, you're only making things worse on yourself in the long run. You're going to have to eventually see a doctor and then explain that you have been buying meds illegally off of a friend. None of us here are doctors, pharmacists, or otherwise licensed to give you advice on what dosage, if any, you should take.
Best advice is to see your doctor.
