I was wondering how I can get prescribed Valium by my doctor. I am a 19 year old Male and was prescribed 30mg Adderall XR in May of 2012 for my, just then diagnosed, ADD. I have always dealt with high anxiety, but recently it has gotten to a point that is distracting in my life. I am afraid to ask him and have him think I am some druggie, when I m not and I m afraid he d say something like the adderall is supposed to help with that. Please help! I am extremely stressed about this situation. Also, I think I may have generalized anxiety disorder but have never been diagnosed. Anything you can say about that would be GREATLY appreciated! Thank you!
Dear Dollie, Hi! Your concerns about your health are very natural. You have got all rights to discuss your health with your doctor including the need to take Valium. Actually for anxiety symptoms, though diazepam (Valium) will help you symptomatically, there are better options than taking Valium. Discuss with your psychiatrist about taking some SSRIs along with your routine Chat Doctor.  Also benefits of CBT and psychotherapy cannot be overemphasized for you. Trying seeing your psychiatrist soon and do discuss your concerns in detail with him/her. Hope I could solve your concerns.
