Hi bipolarlady!

I have to agree with Direction..valium as I understand it CAN be addictive.

It would be wise to talk with your PDoc about your anxiety level. There are many meds that can bring anxiety down to a manageable level!

In the meantime, you may want to try deep breathing & relaxation tapes/meditation. Both work very well for me & i have had GAD for 30 years!

Take care
