Valium is certainly one of the most well-recognized drugs. It is widely used for thetreatment of nearly all types of anxiety disorders, symptoms of alcohol withdrawal and a number of more common symptoms, such as insomnia and muscle spasms. Today, there are nearly five hundred different brands of diazepam (the active substance of Valium) and studies show that its generic drugs have been used at least once by anenormously great number of patients.
Without a doubt, this drug is a long-lasting bestseller and its fame is well-deserved, yet its overwhelming popularity may have a misleading effect on some people. People use to treat things that are long-present in their lives as absolutely safe or even boring. Though this approach may be customary, it is impermissible when dealing with drugs. Even those medications that require no special precautions may be dangerous if taken simultaneously.
In this particular case, the potential risk comes from anti-depressants – another group of ubiquitously popular medicinal products. A high percentage of the symptoms treated by these drugs is common for both diazepam and anti-depressants. Indeed, insomnia and depression, nervousness and panic attacks often accompany each other.

Anxiety used to be an enormous problem for me. It made my life unbearable. I almost stopped all the communication with my friends because I didn’t feel like going out. Now I am on Valium and it’s great. I can control my feelings and my behaviour. I wish I started treatment earlier. It’s not reasonable to suffer when you can get some help.
Severe muscle spasms may not respond to some kinds of treatments. I tried opioids but they had no effect in my case. That’s when I was prescribed Valium and I am very glad that it happened. It relieves the muscle tension very efficiently.
I’ve been on Valium for 3 weeks and I see no problem with addiction or overdose. I always take a pill as I was prescribed to. Moreover, I don’t take it if I feel calm or at least ok. On the contrary, this medication helps me a lot with anxiety and it’s the most important result for me. I like to live my life, not to hide from it.
If you are afraid that Valium may provoke any side effects in your case, you should always stick to the prescription and keep in touch with your therapist. It’s safe in this way. This medication is good for anxiety and in my case the risk was totally worth the result. I enjoy my life to the fullest extent.
Anxiety disorder has been a part of my life for a long time. I have tried a lot of treatments but nothing worked. Finally, I was prescribed Valium and it’s the solution. I can cope with my emotions and control my own life. It’s a great feeling. Moreover, I don’t have to take this medication as often as I had with other sedatives.
As for me, Valium is a great medication to treat anxiety. However, it didn’t help with panic attacks at all. It can take up to an hour to show the effect so it isn’t very helpful in this case. And for anxiety, I am totally satisfied. I feel calm and balanced. My life returns to its normal rhythm thanks to the medication.
Valium is an unsafe drug. Besides the addictive effect, it has many side effects. People who take it may experience lethargy and drowsiness, increased fatigue, dizziness, impaired coordination of movements, deterioration of attention, slowing down of motor reactions, disorientation. Less common are agitation, anxiety, depression, irritability, hallucinations, and much more.
I don't know if the harsh ban on Valium will ever be lifted because many people need it. Although, I know that in other cities doctors do not take this prohibition so seriously and still prescribe it to those who need it. Moreover, pharmacies are packed with the drug in all forms of release from a variety of manufacturers.
Taking Valium with other drugs that make you sleepy or slow your breathing can cause dangerous side effects or death. I recommend asking your doctor before taking sleeping pills, narcotic pain medicine, prescription cough medicine, muscle relaxant, or medicine for anxiety, depression, or seizures.
It happens that the doctor has not correctly calculated the dose of the drug. 1/4 tablet was enough for me, strictly just before bedtime. In the morning, the state is excellent. The only thing is that you need to carefully cancel it, that is, gradually, so as not to get the opposite effect.
Valium helps me a lot with anxiety. I am not sure it has a great effect on my panic attacks but it relieves other symptoms. I am very attentive to my organism’s reactions and I try not to take the pill too often, only as I was prescribed. In this way I am sure that I will be able to stop the treatment with little withdrawal.
I take Valium to cope with the anxiety disorder. I am satisfied with the result. I am able to control my own life, and that’s a wonderful feeling. I hope that I won’t need it with time but for the moment it’s a great decision for me. I keep in touch with my therapist so I am not afraid of any unpleasant consequences.
