Valium for anxiety short term

[JenniferG]

Meg is still out of school and having serious anxiety. She is complaining of a hard time breathing and complaining of intermittent chest pain. Saw Pedi today. Gave 2mg Valium. Heart and lungs clear. Has anyone used this on their child?

We've been using it for a long time. Doesn't solve everything, but when she needs something so she can actually get to an appointment...it works.

My dd is 12. We have the 2mg tabs for use on an "as needed" basis to get her to the orthodontist. It barely took the edge off, but the doctor has since told me that I could use 4mg, or even 6mg, if needed.
