Brief Answer:
not sure what question is?

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for your query but I am not sure what you are asking.
I can tell you that while xanax and valium may work for anxiety and stress they are very addicting, they destroy the normal sleep cycle, they cause fatigue and mental slowing and many doctors are hesitant to prescribe them.
Many medications work to treat both anxiety and depression but if you have tried some of then then you need to talk to your psychiatrist about what other medications may work for you.
We do not prescribe medications on Healthcare Magic. I can also let you know that other online websites, even the ones that are able to prescribe medications would not prescribe a controlled substance with addiction potential like valium or xanax for you. If you feel that you need those medications you will need to see a psychiatrist in person to get them
Regards,
Dr. Robinson
