Hi there ~

I understand your concerns. Valium is a sedative hypnotic which when taken in large doses will make you dependent on it and cause your brain to react in a depressed way. It is imperative to stop the usage of valium by gradually tapering yourself off of it under medical supervision. Consult a doctor who might suggest rehabilitation centers for you.

I hope this helps. Take care and have a lovely day!
