    New figures released this week show prescription drug abuse in the UK is amongst the worst in Europe, with 16% of women surveyed admitted to the addiction - and one of five of those taking prescription pills more than once a week. Mum of two Michele Kirsch was taking up to 40mg of Valium a day - three times the recommended amount. Initially used to aid her anxiety, Michele was eventually sent to rehab to get help. She joins us today with her stark warning for others alongside Dr Zoe.

    There are people who can’t even get off 5mg without having bad withdrawals. When you’re dependent on benzodiazepines, it’s terrifying, regardless of the dose you take.

    Everything is relative, 40mg of diazepam for some is a huge dose. I was on 450mg per day but can’t chastise this lady because she was “only” taking 40mg. The effects of dependency is the same whether on 450 or 40 mg.

      It's not a contest. Everyday for years does add up to a very bad dependence. She may not be an addict but she is a drug dependent.
      40 is a nice dose. I use to abuse them and I wa prescribed. I used totake up to 100mg I felt nothing cause I was a drug addict and dependent. Prescribed benzos and other psyche meds since inwas only 12.
