5 | Sciatic nerve pain | Pleasant side effects. | I started taking flexeril for sciatica but had to stop after 6 days due to awful side effects. But valium (diazepam) is completely taking care of my symptoms. | M | 69 | 31 days 5 Mg 3X day | 12/13/2023 | 4 | Alcohol withdrawal/Insomnia/Anxiety | Minor memory loss, concentration problems, mood fluctuations (euphoria and dysphoria) | I was able to come off alcohol easily. It helps with insomnia and anxiety. I'm functional at work. It works better than Ativan, Klonopin, Lectopam, Serax and Restoril. Xanax works also well, but I built a tolerance and I became addicted. I was able to stop Xanax with the help of Valium. The only thing I dont like is sometimes I feel down for 30 minutes 1 hour after I take it, but sometimes I feel great. | M | 44 | 6 months 10 mg 1X day | 10/28/2023 | 5 | BPH | Better attitude. | Works great for benign prostate hyperplasia. Much better than flomax. | M | 70 | 6 months 5 mg 3X day | 10/5/2023 | 1 | Trying to wean off of xanax. | Valium did the opposite of what it was supposed to do. I was hyper, blood pressure through the roof, could not sit still. | After reading all of the glowing reviews, I feel like the odd one out. This drug is not for me. | F | 75 | 1 days 5mg 1X day | 8/14/2023 | 3 | anxiety | so far very tired and sleepy | has anyone out there used the Herb Kratom capsules for anxiety / depression and for chronic fatigue. Please let me know. | M | 70 | 7 days 5 1X O | 6/19/2023 | 5 | Back pain | Contented with life. | My back pain that I suffered with for years is almost completely gone. It radiated from mid-back to lower back to hips. Now it's only occasionally sore first thing in the morning but pain-free after moving around a bit. | M | 49 | 4 years 10 mg 2X day | 12/21/2022 | 5 | Migraine headaches | Better outlook on life. I'm easier to get along with. | I had suffered migraines for decades. Nothing was effective for the range of symptoms (from prodrome to aura to splitting headache.). I have been taking valium daily for almost 3 years now and have had ZERO migraines. It's a life changer. | M | 55 | 28 months 5 mg 3X day | 8/3/2022 | 5 | Anxiety, mania, exhaustion | The gold standard of anti-anxiety medication. But take a crumb, if you can. And only when needed. Nothing works better. Resets everything: From scary stomach twitching, to dizziness, to rapid heartbeats, muscle tightness and doom. One of the best drugs ever invented. Take a crumb! 2.5 mg MAX. Breathing exercises and a bit of Valium, along with moderate exercise. Total relief | M | 55 | 6 years 2.5 MG 1X AN | 11/22/2021 | 3 | Trying to get off of klonopin | None so far that I can tell have not used it very long yet | Trying to use valium to withdraw from klonopin can anyone please let me know if you have used valium to ease off of klonopin Please email me and let me know | M | 67 | 1 weeks 5mg 2X O | 10/20/2021 | 5 | Migraine & hypertension | no negative side effects | Very effective. | M | 49 | 6 years 10 mg 1X day | 9/28/2021 | 3 | To get off of klonipon | None so far | Has any one used valium to get off of klonopin if so could you please email me and let me know. | M | 68 | 2 weeks 5mg 2X day | 9/11/2021 | 5 | hypertension | It works perfectly. | Lowers systolic by over 30 points and diastolic by over 10 points. | M | 55 | 5 years 5 3X day | 7/7/2021 | 5 | GAD | None at all. Worked well for me. | Brilliant drug I used on and off for more than 50 years whenever my GAD played up, which wasn't continual, so my use was not long term, months rather than years over several periods. Can't get it now in UK, apparently because of certain side effects, none of which I ever experienced, no withdrawal symptoms or anything else they now tell me will happen if I take it and sadly nothing else works for me. I appreciate that reactions to drugs vary for different people but valium worked so well for me. New drugs I have tried gave me terrible side effects, worse anxiety and really bad depression, so couldn't take them and CBT was useless, so no help for me from anyone and now I have lots of physical symptoms they tell me are stress related. If what is prescribed now doesn't work, it seems it's a case of live with it. Thank goodness doctors were kinder in years gone by. I hate to think my whole life might have been like it is now but for their care and understanding. | F | 70 | 5 mg 3X day | 5/18/2021 | 5 | tinnitus | n/a | The tinnitus is greatly reduced, almost goes away completely. Anxiety decreased and world view enhanced. | M | 56 | 13 months 10 mg 2X day | 2/22/2021 | 5 | Divorce | All positive effects. | Everyone should take this while going through trials and bad times. You (and others) come out better at the end. | F | 44 | 8 months 10 2X day | 2/19/2021 | 5 | Sea sickness | Better mood | My work requires sea time and this medication works far better than any other sea sickness remedy I have tried. | M | 41 | 4 years 5 3X day | 1/22/2021 | 5 | Anxiety | Side effects was head or brain zaps, vision problems and dizziness. Also caused constipation and headaches. | I'm considering tapering off and finding an alternative. The head zaps are very scary to experience. | F | 33 | 4 years 15mg 1X day | 11/4/2020 | 5 | Migraines | No negative effects | Take these when migraine is going to start and it usually curtails the symptoms and headache within 25 minutes. | M | 59 | 15 years 10mg 2X day | 10/30/2020 | 5 | Muscle spasms, stress, insomnia | No side effects feeling great. Getting the best sleep I ever had in my life. | I have had a lot of spine surgeries. A lot of muscle spasms, twitching, and jerking which kept me awake all night. Taking this medicine is a god send. | M | 52 | 3 days 1mg 1X day | 10/28/2020 | 5 | Anxiety | None | Taken this drug on and off since I was a teenager more than 50 years ago for an anxiety disorder. It has always worked brilliantly for me and enabled me to live a normal life. I had no side effects at all and experienced no withdrawal problems when stopping it. Like most drugs it depends on the person's tolerance of different substances. Doctors are reluctant to prescribe it these days and I cannot take the new drugs offered as I suffer really bad side effects from them, so left more or less alone to get by now, However I am grateful for the years It was available. | F | 69 | 5 MG 3X day | 10/5/2020 |
VALIUM (DIAZEPAM): Diazepam is used to treat anxiety, alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. It is also used to relieve muscle spasms and to provide sedation before medical procedures. This medication works by calming the brain and nerves. Diazepam belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
