Hi,

There may be doctors that would temporarily give you valium for anxiety but it is in the family of benzodiazepines (like Xanax) and these meds are associated with dependence and tolerance (need more and more for the same effect).

There are medications that would help reduce your anxiety eg the SSRI meds eg Zoloft, Prozac, duloxetine, etc.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Michelle Gibson James, General & Family Physician
