Hey Im prescribed Diazepam or valium 5mg to use on an as needed basis for insomnia. I recently used it somewhat often usually at doses around 2.5mg. Two months ago I stopped it completely and was uncharacteristacly extremely anxious for no reason. I wasn't even taking them every night, depended how busy I was that day. Like there were periods I'd take it for 5 days straight and periods I'd go a week without it. I was using it for about 2 months prior to this 2 month period; but only for sleep I never abused it. The anxiety and rapid heart beat are still there (I take adhd meds and drink coffee; can't function without them) but I know they have got a lot better. I can't believe after that short of a time I could of got that dependent on the drug (I didn't struggle with anxiety before this). This is such a short time I know; I know full out benzo withdraw is way worse, but when will I get better? I know this from my brain chemicals being off from the drug. I'v been through other drug withdrawals before so I'm not being a pussy I hope lol I don't tell anyone about this except my girlfriend, I tried to tough it through without any help but this is way longer then I was expecting. I run and weight lift and sleep well almost everyday. I have a good diet too. Anyone heard of this from such a small and sporadic window of using valium?
