My husband has had diazepam for, erm, a couple of years now on a regular prescription and is far from addicted, he takes them two or three times a week (though not several throughout the day, if that makes sense) and for him they've been superb. Occassionally, the GPs have been iffy about doing a repeat prescription because of - as you know - the addictive nature, but a quick call to the psychiatrist sorts that out. Although they can be addictive, doesn't mean they will be addictive. The diazepam really does help my other half (he doesn't have a regular med, per se, just diazepam and sleeping pills for when he needs them) and are very helpful to him at times when our toddler is being stressful, especially as the diazepam works relatively quickly but continues to work for a while.
