5093508 tn?1390543931 I have heard that chewing or crushing your medications in your mouth, is less harsh on your stomach, as it has been mixed your saliva. I always read the labels and when they say 'Do not crush or chew these tablets' , I obey.as I worry about the health consequences. I am confused. Is it better to chew them anyway, so as not to be too harsh on the stomach lining? What are the dangers of sucking diazepam, for instance?
Avatar m tn I don't know that taking clonazepam and xanax is safe, as they are both benzos and target the same thing, GABA. And they aren't used for depression, they are used for anxiety -- an anti-anxiety drug, which is usually sedating, can actually increase anxiety, although the Cymbalta would possibly prevent that. I'd ask about taking two benzos at the same time on a regular basis. But as to the valium for surgery, I had that when I was on clonazepam.
Avatar m tn •Valium can cause severe drowsiness and difficulty breathing, which may be life-threatening. This risk is increased when Valium is combined with alcohol, narcotics, or other medications or substances that cause drowsiness and sedation (see Valium Drug Interactions for more information). You should not drive or operate heavy machinery until you know how Valium affects you. •Valium may cause depression or worsen preexisting depression.
Avatar f tn I also do have xanax but only a .25 dose of that and was given 2 prescriptions one from each doctor and was only given like maybe 20 pills. I have about 5 left because I did not take them regularly and probably have some more downstairs from my mom. which would be better to take? and is a .25 dosage of xanax safe? its a small dosage isn't it?
1116728 tn?1276797124 hi all my doctor gave me valium for my sleep deprevation but im worried about taking them, i have read that people can become addicted to them and its put me off.
1725558 tn?1309737496 thanks girl, glad to meet you. I have been off the opiates(oxycodon, oxycontin) for the past 6 months when I lost my insurance. I now have it back but Dr. Cochran is not takeing any new patients. So I'm kinda floating by on my nurontin. I also take adderall for ADHD and valium to help with panic attacks. I am now seeing just a pyschiatrist. Who doesnt treat bi-polar with opiates. He believes that it was working for me but is not familiar enough with the recent studies.
Avatar f tn Are there any anxiety medications that do not cause bad side effects? Ive taken meds before but my anxiety got worse and I started feeling depressed so I stopped taking them. Right now I am not on any medications and have been trying to overcome the anxiety on my own but sometimes it's so hard and I wish there was a good medication that won't give you all those side effects. I thought that maybe the dosage was too high for me cause I am a female and I weigh about 115 lbs.
Avatar f tn My dr put me on diazepam to relax my uterus as I had an allergic reaction to the meds he gave me to stop my preterm labour. But I read on google diazepam is valium and bad when your pregnant. Has anyone been on this before? Was baby ok when born?
5093508 tn?1390543931 I don't see in your forums, anything about prescribed medication addictions. Valium addiction is very common. It would be good to have that added to your list in the addiction forum, and with a safe weaning off plan, for addicted persons wanting to get off this medication.
Avatar f tn 1mg everynight at bedtime, zoloft 50mg every morning, tenex 1mg 3 times a day, and valium 10mg as needed for anxiety. Now to me this seems like a lot of medications to take considering I have never took any of them before. He determined I needed all this stuff after a 2 hour pshc evaluation and I am tapering suboxone.all of these meds he says are to help me through the taper and minimize withdrawels the easiest way possible.
1175033 tn?1492201228 I started taking Valium recently and noticed that the bottle warned not to consume grapefruit of the juice at all while taking this medication. This was a issue for me because I drink hansen's natural cane sugar soda with real grapefruit extract and I had to give that up, but I really didn't want to so I read up on what it will do. One article I came across said it would increase the potency of certain meds by 400% http://www.mayoclinic.
Avatar f tn I have GAD. This morning I took 2.5mg. of valium and waited an hour and nothing. So, I took the other 2.5 mg. 2 hours later, whoa..... quite sedated! I have to be someplace this evening so I'm hoping that the effects will ease up just a bit. Is this normal? I guess I should have waited longer on the 2.5mg. but from all I've read, it takes anywhere from 20 min. to one hour to get full effect and when I felt nothing after an hour, I took the other half.
Avatar m tn Also the side effects of weight gain and some other negative side effects are the reason I would love to get off of it. If anyone knows of any medications instead of seroquel that might work.....
Avatar f tn I have narcolepsy and am currently taking 60mg adderoll and 60mg valium/day to counteract the anxiety from the adderoll. I have been very tired and think I need to taper off my valium. I was thinking of tapering 5/mg every 10 days of the Valium down to 20-30/mg and see how I feel. Is this safe? I cannot talk to my doctor due to insurance problems.
Avatar m tn You will be under doctors supervision and they give you medications such as valium and antinausea shots to keep you comfortable. I think you will feel safe there. It is not jail, they just want to see you succeed. Good luck and keep us posted.
Avatar n tn Along with research it is been read that Clonazepam is a treatment for Akathisia (which is obviously another benzodiazepine). I have a doctors appointment soon, whom prescribes me the valium and I was wondering if it would be appropriate to bring this up to him and suggest the switch to this benzo from the valium. The valium is for my spasms (which it works great). The GABA action I get from it must be good due to my lack there of spasms, I hope Klonopin does the same.
Avatar f tn Thank the drug enforcement administration, who, under nonsensical political pressure, convinced congress, who made valium a schedule one drug on the same par with an opiate. Thirty years ago you didn't have to even sign for valium in the ER! It was like ordering aspirin from the pharmacy. It was often ordered to reduce the frequency of PVC's and worked quite well. Today physicians are tracked, and ordering valium "inappropriately" could result in loss of licensure.
Avatar f tn I have stopped using several prescribed medications as some of you know. It has been 78 days since I used Valium and am still struggling with withdrawals. I saw my addiction therapist yesterday and she told my that my last drug test came up showing that I still have Valium in my system. She said that it can take 90 days for it to clear out of your system and that I am still physically not just mentally withdrawing. I was so shocked, but it would explain why it's taking so long.
Avatar f tn Hi, I was wondering if anyone could answer a question for me. I have been on Valium for over 3 years and stopped taking them last week around the 20th. I was on 2mgs per day along with 1mg of Xanax and Aropax (quite the Cocktail). I have been on these meds for a while now, nearly 10yrs and have decided of my own free will to start weaning off them.
Avatar n tn ban i take 10 kg's of valium and it take over for 2mh's of ativan??? My Doc said yes, but other's said no. I am on ativan 2mg's 3 x a day and he put me on Valium 4x a day.

Avatar f tn Ativan is used to relax/calm you down and so is Valium,in essence.However Valium can also be used as a muscle relaxant. I would sstrongly advise against taking both.You may want to consullt with your doctor as well.Please be careful!!
Avatar m tn does anyone know a doc in las vegas that will prescribe suboxone and Valium together please someone help
Avatar n tn been taking Adderall valium and oxycodone for 12 years all drug tests have shown compliance. now I got a false neg and cant get medicine when I took them as prescribed. what could cause that? tried cbd oil but nothing else, the blood test said I didn't take the valium and adderal and a small amt of oxycodone. I took them all that am . why is it wrong?
Avatar f tn ) I am wary of trying new medications because I am always sensitive to side affects. Anyone used to taking Valium for anxiety? I don't know how much to take either. I am researching it on the net. I only need something to get me through until I can get my Klonopin refill. Stopping Klonop. cold turkey is bad isn't it? Will the Valium help with that? I am Worried... I also take Gabapentin/Neurontin 100 mg's a night for a nerve pain issue. Is it ok to mix the 2?
600857 tn?1230057770 Lets hope this works for awhile. My question is. My Pain Mgmt DR upped my Nuerontin to 300mg 2x day. He took me off the Valium and Baclofen. He said Valium is not good long term and by upping the Nuerontin I won't need Baclofen. OK. As of yet, no bad side effects, yet I've heard many say things about Nuerontin. Any input would be greatly appreciated. One last thing. I've been feeling amped out. I'm not sure where this is coming from.
