Hi, Thanks for writing in. Cancer is a challenging condition, and you must fight it. It is normal to go through various levels of stress when taking treatment for a condition like CML. It is unfortunate that your husband is not interacting with you positively and this is making you spend months at your mothers home to get peace and make a recovery. Valium is diazepam that is a benzodiazepine and its maximum dose is 10 mg 4 times a day. You have taken a much higher dose at once than recommended. Though nothing will happen if you take it on one occasion but taking it on a regular basis can cause harm to your body and mind. Please use mental relaxation techniques like doing yoga or reading a book when you feel anxiety. Please do not worry.
