Since I can now get valium, I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with it and anxiety? I mean obviously it has anxiolytic properties, but how long do they last?
I’m not going to take them every day. Just 5mg (Unless I really need to take 10mg but I don’t want to take more then necessary) when my anxiety is bad. Any help anyone could offer on the subject would be great..
i’ve never done vallys but i do suffer from anxiety. i think it is a bit of an easy way out, it just masks the anxiety without actually tackling the problem and then before you know it you’re tolerance has skyrocketed and you are dependent on them. there are probably better ways, but im not sure what they are, of dealing with the problem and considering you mephe addiction i wouldn’t recommend doing valium on the regs to try and fix you’re anxiety
hope all is well buddy!
btw i went through a really bad patch of anxiety and feeling a bit weird a few months back when i was caning a lot of stuff and not looking after myself properly, but once you label yourself as something you start to think that is all that you are (in my case anyway). one of my friends was losing the plot a little and i could see a lot of similarities between me and him, and i didnt wanna tell any of my friends because they would have just labelled me as ‘loosing the plot’ aswell, once you start to think there is something a bit wrong with you it kind of spirals and you think oh no there’s something wrong with me. but for me, i just layed off the session a bit and realised that all these labels weren’t doing me any good, i started to realise that actually i was fine all i needed was to start being sociable again and to realise that im ok, and then things got better and now i feel sweet as anything.
sorry if that doesn’t make sense it was a bit rushed but i hope you get the gist of it – don’t let labels control how you feel and act, do your own thing and have a bit of self-worth, you will be fine

No, I totally agree, but the only thing that really helped for a prolonged time was shrooms until i started smashing meph again. TBH I think it is just fucked up dopamine levels and myself over reacting, but I only want the valiums for when it is real bad. It is fucking shitty when you feel like you can’t even walk and are constantly para.

Nah it makes total sense, I know it is all in my mind as when I think about it more I get it worse if that makes sense. But its shit when you get anxious about being anxious etc. etc. Now that i’m making an effort with things they are getting better but I can’t help but feel some psychedelics would do me some good lol.
i was getting anxious about being anxious before and it felt like i was loosing control a bit, but you have it in you to take control back if you try and have a positive mentality, i know it’s a lot easier said than done, but a positive outlook on things definitely helps you to lead a more positive life as i have learnt.
in my experience socialising and getting out every day really helps to ease the anxiety and the feeling of being a bit trapped in your own mind. when you start going out and doing normal things and interacting with people you realise that you are completely fine and there is much joy to be had in doing that, especially when the weather is as good as it is !!
Well i feel much calmer and more at peace for a few days after i would say. I have fairly brief bouts of anxiety every so often and if i was to pop a few at the weekend i’d say it would set me straight for the week ahead. If anything in the latter days of the week the placebo effect of using anti an anxiolytic substance at the weekend does the job fine (for me anyway). Saying that i don’t consider my anxiety particularly bad although it does fluctuate as does depression.
It works for a few days. Then you need more for the same effect. Within 2-3 weeks your dose will be very high and when you stop your anxiety will be worse than it ever was by quite some way.
Valium will help with the anxiety but only if you reserve it for days when you are particularly bad and dont start doing them daily.
The only thing that will help permamently is to try to kick the meph or at least limit it to once or twice a month.

I believe he’s clean of the meph but is still struggling to quit weed. This he has told me causes a lot of anxiety, especially since the meph binges.
You want to recover then continue not doing the meph but also cut out or reduce the weed to a spliff in the evening or something. The odd Benzo here and there won’t do any harm and will likely help the anxiety but regular doses will have no positive long term effect.
the best anti anxiety activity is exercise… especially if you can find something to get passionate about
The problem with the vallies is that they will make you feel better but it’s just a patch. It doesn’t fix the problem. Then you find yourself in a situation where you NEED the vallies to not feel bad which then becomes problematic.
i just had a phenazolam, lol

Stop taking run and see a Doctor would be my 2p
Valium is a dangerously addictive drug.
