Valium, in a bit higher dose than 10mg.. like 30mg, will have you feeling ecstatic if you are anything like me! God I miss those things, I take 3mg of kpin a day now instead.. my current doc, doesn't like valium, only prescribed kpin, and occasionally Ativan which ime, sucks.. I wouldn't bother lorazepam, unless you do think they help a lot more. Also it depends on the DR. some will not prescribe benzos, and if they do, they do it sparingly at best. Some like my previous doc who originally put me on kpin (and a few others years ago)in the first place.. he was so nonchalant about it. I simply said, I had trouble sleeping, tons of anxiety, and had very bad shyness or social anxiety disorder.. He asked me if I had tried anything for it, and if so what. I literally told him, "my friend gave me a klonopin, one day when I had a nervous breakdown/anxiety attack, and it worked like a charm, and kept all my anxiety away for so long." telling him the honest to god truth! And he knew I wasn't trying to drug seek, he could tell I was being straight with him, so he put me on 0.5mg of kpin a day to start, which then led to 5mg a day... then switched over to 50mg of valium a day.. loved it!!! Best benzo ime, I like it a bit more than kpin, but I love kpin too.. its a very misunderstood benzo. Lots of people, take it, don't feel any relief for over an hr, because unless you chew, parachute, or sub it under your tongue, they take a loooong time to take effect, also last all day long too.
I wouldn't advise, taking the benzo path.. its straight HELL to get off of them, or if you happen to run out of your script too early.. But I had no choice really, unless I wanted to be a deadbeat, unhappy, nervous, shy, insomniac for the rest of my life, whilst not taking kpin or other benzos.. But they are really helpful, if taken as they are meant to be, and not abused, just for therapeutic value alone.. not the high, I don't get high, I just turn normal, with a slight slight buzz...
Good luck pal..
