User Reviews for diazepam oral

I have been taking this medication after a rather bad auto accident. I've been on it for just under 10 yrs. 10mgx4 daily. It's been used mostly to help with sleep and muscle spasms along with other musclerelaxors. I've also needed it for anxiety once in awhile. For the most part I would say it's by far the best of the benzodiazepines. I'm lucky in a way that if I decide to take a holiday away from my prescriptions, I don't have any withdrawal symptoms. I have a strange tolerance to most pills, I feel that also has to do with my ADHD. It's longer acting than most benzos, but you need to be aware that it has a pretty long half life which if you're not familiar with the term, it stays in your system for about2-3 days, which is why it can be addicting cause the longer you take it, the longer it's half life is, which just stays in your system and builds a tolerance. That's the downside of the med, but it's been around for years, and I've been on many different types of benzos, and I always go back to the diazepam. I hope this may educate some a bit more than they were.Read More Read Less

because of chronic lower back pain for many years, this med. has been very effective for me. I take as needed and NOT every night. My physician approves of this protocol/

seems to be giving me diarria. don't want to stop it as I have sleeping so good

I have been taking this drug for only about a month, but it has allowed me to finally after about 10 years, get off of my Zoloft. I was tired of taking a medication everyday and with this drug, I can use it only as needed. I take 5mg for anxiety and cramping. Every so often I need 10mg when I'm under a lot of stress or traveling. Great drug. My only concern is becoming addicted to it...

I took between 15-30 mg's of diazepam for close to 30 years. I have major muscle spasms from a spinal cord injury and the drug of choice back then (lioresal) did not agree with my system. About 9 months ago I was having problems with being tired in the afternoon. As diazepam haas a long half life my doc felt maybe it was bogging me down causing my fatigue symptoms. Switched to baclofen (generic lioresal)and after some initial problems have been taking that drug since. I am going to speak with my doctor about going back to diazepam. Since going off the diazepam I can't sleep, have more pain and far fewer "good days".Read More Read Less

This medication was given to my 18 year old daughter in prep for oral surgery. 1-10mg at night, 2-10mg an hour before surgery. This worked the opposite on her! It created a disconnect feeling and anxiousness that cause her to cry and feel panic. Gave her the look of "no body is home" in her eyes. I feel her recovery from surgery was delayed a few days because of her taking this medication.

seems like the anxiety is better somewhat. but it seems too take away the seizure's and helps with the pain . I do not now if this pill has valium in it or not ? BUT MY BACK PAIN , AND OTHER PAIN SEEMS TO BE ALOT LESS...

I was given this at the ER and prescribed it for Torticollis in combination with other medications. I had a severe allergic reaction to it. The itching was so bad I couldn't sleep at night which made my spasms worse. After stopping the medication the itching continued for almost a week.

Diazepam works very well on my anxiety disorder.

falling and staggering

helps to calm my shaky spells but sometimes i may have to take two for it too work

why is my diazepam???

i have a weird condision that causes hiccups for several days at a time(8 to 18) it makes me really sick. but in use of the drug it works to cure this condision it that respect i am varry happy with it on the other hand the drug also makes me varry angry (like wanting to smash every thing in sight and psyically injure those arround me). I only have taken this drug for a few days and now that i have through doctor advice (and made friends remove it from my access)stoped taking it because of these mood changes feel that i only want to take it more. it seems to me like an instant addiction because of my desire to take it. dont get me wrong on any aspect it worked great for what i needed it to do i just cannot reconmend it. it makes me act and think too wrong.Read More Read Less

helps me better than xanax of which xanax made me mean, more sedated and mood swings valuim does not

I take this rather than snorting meth so Id say that's a improvement.

great

I have tried many different sleep aids over the years and this on works great. I would wake up 3-5 times per night and be restless all night long. This is a godsend and more Doctors should perscribe this med for people that have tried other methods. I don't know why they have such a hard time giving it to patients. I have been using it for more than 5 years at only 5mg.

I take 1mg now,however,on my next DR. Appt. i'm going to ask to be put on 2mg. I'm i going in the right way about this?

I feel like I have to depend on taking this med. If I miss a dose, I start to shake. Really dont like this med and would like to stop taking it. Need some help on what I can do.

VERY SATISFIED, like a miracle pill for me during an anxiety attack or if I feel one coming on. It does not make me drowsy if I take the correct dosage and I actually feel more productive as I can focus better on it than when feeling anxious.
