How long should one tablet of 5 mg Relanium last?
How long should one tablet of 5 mg relanium last? I take relanium temporarily, in the event of a strong anxiety attack, but it works on me very briefly, because about 1 hour and then again anxiety and anxiety returns.

To @Anna:
I understand that you are going through a difficult time and are struggling with increased anxiety, despite regularly taking medication prescribed by a psychiatrist.
In this situation, you should immediately contact your psychiatrist and inform him or her of the severity of your anxiety symptoms, despite taking medication. He or she may decide to change your dosage or medication to better control your symptoms.
You may also want to consider seeking psychological therapy, which can help you develop effective strategies for coping with anxiety. Treatment of difficulties in the area of psychological functioning only with the use of pharmacological agents carries the risk of intensification of symptoms after discontinuation of medication and in a short time afterwards. If you have not undergone psychotherapy (apart from taking medication), I encourage you to make an appointment for a consultation with an appropriate specialist. If you do not have the opportunity to consult a psychologist, you can take advantage of the teleconsultation here:
Hello, I have the same today, I took 2 tablets of 5 mg and one of 2 mg went away for a while, I feel anxious all the time, I don't know what to do anymore, I note that I am under the constant care of a psychiatrist and I systematically take medication

Diazepam (the active ingredient in Relanium) is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and reaches its maximum concentration in the blood within 30 - 90 minutes of taking the tablet. The persistence of diazepam and its metabolites (which are also active) in the blood shows significant individual differences. However, it is believed that the drug should work longer than the one hour indicated by you, because the half-life (the time after which the concentration drops by half) is quite long. If you suffer from anxiety disorders that persist, recur, then perhaps a more systematic treatment or psychotherapy will be a better solution. Talk to your doctor about the lack of satisfactory results after taking Relanium tablet.
