You will have better success with your new doctor if you tell the doctor your problems and about the anxiety and all your life stressors. Tell him your symptoms and about the panic attacks. Say what has helped you in the past (valium, therapy). Then leave it up to him/her to suggest some options. He/she may have some good ideas, which may or may not include a benzo like valium. It is good to focus on your symptoms rather than "I want this med", especially with a new doctor.
