User Reviews for diazepam oral

I WAS MORE RELAXED THAN BEFORE. I LIKE THE RESULTS.......

After a neck fusion, shattered wrist, gallbladder removal and fractured pelvis and sacrum all in a year's period of time I was unable to work, I felt constant pain, anxious, and depression, not contributing to my family of finances. Was on myriads of meds. My family doc insisted I give diazepam a try. After just 3 day, lessened muscle pain, anxiety and depression, and sleep better than on Lunesta or Ambien. This has been a lifesaver for me! And I don't have to take so many pills. I'm delighted!! God bless this medication and my savvy doctor!Read More Read Less

I have used this medicine successfully for anixiety, panic attacks for the past 11 years. That said, it has been 11 years...I cannot get OFF it! I tried to STOP, I wound up in the HOSPITAL! I am back on diazepam! I would caution anyone to speak with their doc about an exit strategy prior to starting, unless they WANT a life-long committment. It does not appear to have negative impacts on my day-to-day functioning (I can drive, work, go to school, etc.). The only other thing is that at times undue stress causes increased dosage requirements (my prescribed dose is 5 mg 3 times/day).Read More Read Less

I have severe anxiety attacks. This medication relaxes me and makes me deal with the difficult issues going on in my life. Question is, has anyone else had a loss in appetite?

One of the best nedications I have ever taken

drug helped me to feel comfortable in an anxious situation,

copared to real valuem they suck

That it make the treatment seem to go buy smoothly and painless. It's worth it to me. I would freak out before and after if I din get it.

have been taking for 7 years for severe neck and shoulder muscle spasms due to fibromyalgia 5mg 3times aday side effects of tiredness are short term when first using after being told for 3 years that antidepressants were the only drug for treatment which made me crazy andout of touch with reality my ob/gyn asked what is the worst part of fibro for you? replied inability to do anything with my arms dishes laundry cooking any routine household chore results in extremely painful muscle spasms his reply sounds like alittle valium is needed bless this M.D for his wisdom and respect for his patients knowledge of their own body and what works for them now after 7 years he has retired new dr. says oh you need to get off this and take one of the newer drugs sevella no no no this works has few side effects why must they push for something new just because it is new?Read More Read Less

I needed something for pain management and was told I was given Valium :( this is not valium

I have severe anxiety associated with metastic cancer and this medicine is a life saver. Xanax & Ativan made me to sleepy and doped up feeling. This is a rather mild medicine in comparison. It doesn't make me sleepy and it takes away the dread & easys my mind when I needed it.

Why can't I eat grapefruit or drink grapefruit juice while taking diazpam?

I am in the UK. I was given Diazepam (generic Valium) for lower back pain. However,while taking this medication, I found it helped my Fibromyalgia. As I was able to relax more my body wasn't responding to the pain in such an intense way anymore. My doctor wouldn't prescribe me this medication for any longer then 3 weeks so I had find a doctor that would. Not only did his help my back spasms but definately relieved my Fibro. Finally, something simple that works. Finally, I discovered that when taking the Diazepam, I needed to take less pain medication,. Result!Read More Read Less

I take this medication in combination with baclofen for unspecified tremors and anxiety of my medical condition

I've been diagnosed for depression, panic attacks, agoraphobia,and anxiety for the last 15 yrs ...recently, PTSD. I've taken Clonopin and Xanax along with an antidepressant (you name it, I've taken it). Diazepam works much better than Clonopin or Xanax...it doesn't keep me loopy or as sleepy as the other two do for a much longer time.

Anxiety

works in combo with oter meds pretty good
