Valium is weight neutral.
The way to avoid becoming addicted is to avoid taking it every day for more than about a month.
You definitely need to talk to your pdoc so your questions can be answered. Also, there must be a ton of info online about Valium.

Yeah it has worked pretty good for my anxiety. But I’m still dizzy and I don’t know if that’s the lack of Xanax or just a side effect. I did Google it a bit but got freaked out when I read “more addicting then heroin” and some bachelorette had drastic weight loss from being addicted to it. I did look at the side effects and dizziness is a common one. That seems to be the only big side effect I’m having.
I’m just glad for a break from this major anxiety that lasted for 2 weeks nonstop. I’ll have to figure out this situation better when things have calmed down completely regarding the Xanax being out of my system.
