Valium Addiction and Resistance?

Question by mariahsaintly: Valium addiction and resistance?
I’ve been taking Valium to get me through a difficult time. It really helps to have 5mg in the morning and another 5mg in the afternoon.

Does anyone know about how long it will take for the resistance to build up at this rate?
It has really helped me get through an emotional trauma. I’m also wondering about how long it will take for me to become addicted at this rate. I’ve been taking it at this rate for about 2 weeks so far. Something really bad happened and yes it’s a normal human reaction to grief and pain, but I wasn’t able to function at work, and I have a university course to complete, so I had to have something to take away the edge. And Valium did that.
