    More than 1,000 people have died from drugs in one year in Scotland for the first time - and the crisis is seemingly fuelled by a pill sold for less than a chocolate bar.
    While figures from England and Wales have stabilised in recent years, drug deaths have doubled in the past decade in Scotland and are accelerating.
    In almost two thirds of these deaths, the sedative benzodiazepine was found in the bloodstream.
    These so-called "Street Valiums" can be bought for just 30p per pill, even somewhere as crowded and busy as central Glasgow during rush hour.

    If Drs werent treating people like me who arent tsking ither drugs and are actuslly unwell like 10mg was enough to remove my anxiety and go out and do things to improve my life. 20mg minimum is what ice asked for even though i was told by the dr herself she has a patient on methadone and 28mg of valium a day! And he drinks and smokes! I do neither! Psychiatric Drs need to be screening. I can buy 1000 valium for 150 quid but i don't cause i want genuine help fron a Dr

    Valium isn’t that strong though. Xanax is so much better. I’m on 1mg 2x a day.

      @Ricktheredbrick1 I don’t know about that. In my research it said that Xanax, Ativan and klonopin are the strongest benzodiazepines with klonopin taking the lead as the strongest. Valium was compared to 5 mg of Valium is 0.5 mg of Xanax. The reason I like Xanax so much is because it works fast.

    Alot of doctors wont prescribe valuim and pass the buck to someone else so they dont have to prescribe it and always say i carnt help you but you know they can to pick and choose who they treat is disgusting and to think doctors take a oath that means nothing to them ther a law unto themselves and have excuses for anything

    Scots: “Ah swallay ehteh a deh. Ah’ve hud ehteh tadeh awruddy.”
    English: “I swallow eighty a day. I’ve had eighty today already.”
