I'm thinking about switching to Valium. I'm glad to finally be rid of the Xanax problem I had. I can thank a wreckless doctor for that problem. I tapered down to a small amount of Xanax (thanks to the great information and info from a few members of this board on how to taper off Xanax). I'm now on Klonopin (generic) and I feel so MUCH MUCH better than I did on Xanax. I don't crave Klonopin like I did Xanax, It lasts longer, it dosn't give me a "high", and when I don't take it or if I skip a day, I don't get the "shakes" that I got when I didn't have my Xanax fix.

I've been told that Valuim is an even better alternative (even longer lasting, no craving). Is this why you're switching to it? Also, I noticed that they come in 5mg and 10mg. Can you break them up into smaller doses? I plan to be rid of taking anxiety medication all together... I'm just very fearful of the withdrawal process from a Benzo and I want to taper off slow.

Any information is great information!

Thanks in advance.
