Brief Answer:
Valium is a controlled drug.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for using ask a doctor service

I can understand your problem but I'd like to tell you that Valium is Diazepam and is a benzodiazepine drug. The drug is a controlled drug and its not possible to provide online prescription for the same. You have to visit a psychiatrist in person to get refill.

Thanks
