Taking something to replace Valium?

I lived in Dallas for many years, I recently had a head injury and had several MRIs and x-rays done. My doctor tried many medications to help the nerve damage in my head. I just moved to to Chickasha, OK to take care of my father as he is 93. My doctor has retired and is still in Dallas.

I lost my insurance and the doctors with my medical records will not prescribe me the medicine. Is the something i can take to help my headache and dizziness that I have. My little finger on my left hand is numb also. Can you give me an idea of what I can take instead of Valium?

Valerian is an herb that Valium is made from, it is available at your local health food store. A warning though, like with all herbs, take only as directed. And you should be aware that it stinks, this is normal and does not mean the pills are bad, it smells like dirty sweat socks, so swollow fast ;))

If you go to a low-income clinic they may be able to help you. They charge according to your income and make payment arrangements. They may not prescribe Valium, but something similar and much cheaper. You would be surprised at the difference in price by buying generic meds instead of brand name. Its just like cheap cerial compared to Kellogs, same stuff but half the price and a bigger bag!

I want to use Valium for my social anxiety disorder but my psychiatrist refuses because it might be addictive for me so please help me get the prescription or tell me something else which can help me overcome my SAD
