The recommended dose of Valium for anxiety in adults varies from 2 to 10 mg, taken 2 to 4 times daily. For children aged 6 months and older, the dose is usually 1 to 2.5 mg 3 to 4 times daily.
For adults, Valium (diazepam) doses vary: for anxiety, 2-10 mg 2-4 times daily; for alcohol withdrawal, initial 10 mg 3-4 times during the first 24 hours. For children, use is typically not recommended except for specific conditions and requires precise dosing by a physician.
