1. Black box warnings

In the 60's Valium was called mama's little helper, really helps anxiety.

Valium to me seems to have no sedation effects but for sure reduces anxiety.

I've tasted Valium or any other anesthetic agent 4 times on a surgery administered through IV, at some time around 2022 - 2023. Then I've been having this unpleasant migraine attack for more than 2 weeks for no reason. Doctor diagnosed that I might stress myself too much, but I don't even know what's going on or what am I thinking. So I've been prescribed a med that contains 2 mg of diazepam with 500 mg of metamizole sodium. I do feel a little of drowsiness, but I can still ride my motorbike and even go as far as doing deliveries of food and goods throughout the city. I'm not flexing about drugs I had, I just want to ask a question or two: which one's wrong my bodily system's experience with sedatives or simply underdose?

Valium may be used occasionally to relieve anxiety and some other conditions such as acute muscle spasms and alcohol withdrawal

I wish more people would realize addiction usually requires a pleasure element that someone needs to derive from taking the drug first. Doctors seem to think that all drugs that are associated with addiction are addictive universally, which is simply wrong. Also, sometimes what happens with drugs is that only the very first dosage induces extreme pleasure and (almost) all other ones affect the patient vastly differently. In hindsight, I have been physically dependent on Valium on numerous occasions, but quitting cold turkey was very easy because I barely even realized it was Valium keeping withdrawal headaches at bay.

The doctor prescribed Diazapan 20 years ago after losing four family members (including my husband) through suicide. I trusted the doctor as after leaving that doctor kept prescribing. The doctors did not explain anything about this medication! Who duty was it to explain the side affects and going off the medication? I go to a Naturapath now helping me to withdraw. I'm finished with the medical profession!!!

It's actually the job of pharmacists, where you received your medication, to explain it to you.

Your story is literally the same as mine. Now we have a benzo holocaust and it can take years to safely taper off. I didn't realize you could die from seizures if you were just doing a 30 day inpatient rehab. Going off too fast can cause permanent brain damage. I'm curious how you are doing now and if you had some success.

@shonablackthorn806 3 ай бұрын

Thank you for your feedback, I now can't take Diazapan as it cases panic attacks, high heart rate and I'm losing weight... strange though since this happened I am not wanting the Diazapan now...my Acupuncturist is doing a fantastic healing on me. I hope you are alright 💞

Most likely Clobazam in my opinion, the faster acting, medium-long duration benzodiazepines as well as fast acting short duration seem to be the ones I’ve noted to have most potential in increasing suicidal behaviour, especially if accidentally mixed with alcohol.

You definitely do not want to mix any benzodiazepines, especially with oxycodone, basically any opiates stronger than codeine do not mix or you are at risk of dying period. Now, if you do mix a low dose of codeine with a low dose of benzodiazepines, for example 5 mg of Valium and 30 mg of codeine there is a pharmacological phenomena that happens and it is just one of the best experiences on the planet. This combination, outshines oxycodone alone. The issue here is there is a risk of abuse like you say, and if not carefully monitored and the doses are increased, you would die. And it’s clear that the patient knows the difference between opiates and opioids. Also, the difference codeine and how that is different completely to all other opioid/opiate medications.

Valium last too long. It actually gives a hangover like alcohol the next day such a crap feeling probably metabolites remaining the next day. Bromazolam does not have this hangover effect and leaves the body quicker without these nausea aftereffects. Took valium once during a romantic breakup to ease anxiety and sleep and it worked but next day was the shits and never did it again.

@tommysherman7155 10 ай бұрын

Diazepam doesn't give a hangover effect. It's not even potent. It says avoid caffeine because that kills diazepam off and into withdrawal
