I had exactly the same experience. Turns out that I am really sensitive to benzodiazepines. I now take 1/2 of a 0.25mg tablet when I know I'm going to do something that will trigger me (maybe twice a year). But a doctor initially prescribed 3mg a day (!) to me. I got physically dependent and had to wean myself off using liquid valium.
