It's ok: Working with your prescribing doctor, there is nothing unusual about your med routine. Panic is nothing to feel ashamed of. Cognitive/behavioral therapy could help with your disorder.

Not the solution: Valium is, in no way, a cure or solution for your anxiety problem. It is a temporary panacea. I would encourage you to do the internal work it will be to come to resolution of what is behind your anxiety. Work on curing the problem and not just covering it up.
