Valium is one of the benzodiazepam anxiety medications. Along with alcohol (which works at the same receptor) they are the only class of drug that can be fatal in withdrawl. They are both psychologically and physically very addictive. They are also very important and helpfull when used correctly. Since they have a significant effect on memory probably should get some for exams. That way you can fail out of school now and relieve yourself of the source of your anxiety quickly. You are looking for the easy answer, aren't you?
If you think you have anxiety to deal with now, wait until you graduate. Try this.....
Manage your time and schedule carefully. Get enough sleep. Stay caught up. Get enough exercise. Take some time out to relax and some to play hard also. If doing these things doesn't help you manage your anxiety, and it is still affecting your performance, go to your doctor and tell him exactly that. Tell him how you feel and what your goals are. Don't go in with an agenda for what you want prescribed based on what you have heard. Then the two of you can work out what is the best treatment plan for you.
