Hi,
Benzodiazepine medications such as Valium are very effective in the short term for treating anxiety, but can be very habit-forming and so I would encourage you to be very careful about starting to use this regularly. As far as your question about how to obtain it, you will need a prescription from a doctor to be able to use this medication.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
