Please respond. I have never taken it and it was just prescribed for me. I have taken other benzos but they don't help my extreme anxiety. Hoping this will.

Re: Momz0r (# 11)
Couldn’t be more right, i second this comment religiously as I was on 10mg a day for 2-3 months before I started to increase my dose rapidly, soon being on 100mg a night, which meant purchasing outside the pharmacy ( god knows what’s inside them ones). It almost ruined my life and I decided it was best I came off of them as I have a kid and a good job. Since then I have had many other health problems and have learnt to deal with my anxiety in many natural ways e.g mediation and so forth. Prescription drugs ruin lives and have a high percentage of people who go on to harder drugs. Not saying that’s you, but they are an easy way out of anxiety that many enjoy through recreational use also and you should be extremely cautious to these variety of tablets they use to control depression.

I am living in Malaysia and its a country where even a person ask about valium and other benzodiazepines, doctors, pharmacist or and anyone thats in the healthcare sectors private or governments would look at you as though your a drug addict.. That my personal experience.. So You don't even want to continue asking anything else.. So I tried different means to get. From my own experience Valium is to mild for extreme anxieties so is xanax.. I have with me xanax,valium,clonazepam, midazolam,Prozac,Zoloft, amitriptyline,mirtazapine,zopiclone and for pain Tramadol, buprenorphine and methadone. It is all for personal use. When I was denied by the so call professionals I was frustrated all I wanted was something to help me sleep. And that was what happened.. I can't say for extreme anxieties but usually for me i'll take Valium 10. And about 30 minutes i'll take clonazepam half = to 1 mg AND then I'll be calm or calmer.. I can't say what is right for even if you see a specialist it is a matter of whats right for You other's like me could only share personal experience.. Hopefully you find Happiness in everything you do. Take care.

I was prescribed Valium to help get of codeine - almost a 11 year addiction, I had been prescribed it in the past for help but it never did but that was me just taking one tablet and I would not feel anything, it wasn’t till someone told me that I should take some more-
Which I did and it’s almost been a year clean, roughly 2 months of Valium and I didn’t get the extreme withdrawal symptoms that I had in the past, it allowed me to sleep which was one of the major drawback of the withdrawal and that made a huge difference to my mind and body,

I am 7 months pregnant and I've been having these episodes of panic/anxiety attacks before I was pregnant, but again it started recently and I saw a doctor, and she prescribed fluoxetine 10mg and Valium 5mg. Any opinion on this?

Re: Momz0r (# 11)
It is quite obvious that you have never had a problem with anxiety or panic attacks!!! Many people have severe attacks of these on a daily bases. You ridicule people who need benzodiazepines just to be able to get out of bed and you offer no alternative. The doctors and specialists have no cure for anxiety and panic attacks so they dish out benzodiazepines because for many they are the only thing that works. Yes, they can be addictive so best only taken when needed and only as little as needed. I've been on them for years and alternate which ones I take but I have never increased the dosage. Such abominable disregard for the suffering of many people. Shame on you! Shame on you! Shame on you!

Re: GTIKAI (# 16)
Try IV valium.... some places do the CT or MRI under sedation. Works great. I had MRI with 15 mg orally today and it was not real effective, but the IV version works great!

They say to take a dose 1 hour prior to your procedure and another dose 30 minutes prior to the procedure. The medication takes about 30 minutes to take initial effect and should last 4 hours after the second dosing.

Just keep in mind, take all medication as the way your doctor prescribed them for you to take. For example: Taking one pill by mouth three times daily, means every eight hours.

Re: Buddu (# 37)
Her theory was a personal experience. One which I have also had. I suffered from anxiety attacks and took Xanax. Then got addicted because the more you take, the more the body gets used to your normal dosage. Then you have to increase it to get the effects. You end up increasing the dosage to a dangerous level where you risk overdosing. Benzos permanently change the chemistry of your brain. They make you think you need it to survive. So, getting off this can be very dangerous and life threatening. I’ve been through it. Once you start to depend on this drug, you are heading down a worse road than you originally are on. Her warning is justified.
