What are the therapeutic uses of valium?
And what are the side effects of taking the drug?
Valium, a diazepam, is used for the relief of anxiety disorders. It can also be utilized for the relieving of skeletal muscle spasms, spasticity, and for use in status epilepticus. The drug should also be periodically assessed by the doctor to determine if it is indeed beneficial to the patient.
The common (mild) side effects are as follows:
* changes in appetite
* dizziness
* drowsiness
* tiredness
* diarrhea
* dry mouth
* upset stomach
* weakness
Am I harming myself by using valium? (Please no judgmental answers)?
I have always had trouble sleeping and get bad anxiety. My doctor has prescribed me sleeping pills a few times but they don’t really work. So for the past few years I have bought valium off the internet and it has really helped my anxiety and sleeping problems.
I know a lot of people who get stoned to help them relax or sleep, and obviously I know cannabis has bad side effects so i don’t use it. However, I haven’t noticed any bad side effects from using valium. Actually it has helped me a lot.
But I realise it isn’t legal (in the UK) and I am probably getting dependent. Is this really a bad thing for my health? If so how exactly is it harming me?
It isn’t a bad thing for your physical health. Long-term valium use (at sensible doses) may cause mild liver irritation which resolves on stopping the tablet.
The worry is the dependency. The fear is that your poorly acting natural sleep centres will now have given up completely. Hence any attempt to stop will result in absolute insomnia, hence addiction. Also there is a fear that you need to slowly increase the dose to get the same effect and then start affecting the liver. That’s the sleep.
As an anxiety helper, you have to wonder what “helping” means. Yes, you do feel better, but that’s because you are mildly sedated. You could get the same effect from alcohol (I am NOT suggecting this). If someone told you they were fine as long as they had their half bottle, would you say they were fine or an alcoholic? Relying on tablets to cope ends up with reduced ability to cope and increased need for the tablets.
Hence various scenarios: The fear is a steadily increasing anxiety and insomnia also with increasing doses of valium.
The reality is many are well on steady doses and coping better on a daily basis with them.
Complex, but in final answer: physically you’re fine as long as the doses are.
What are the effects of the drug Valium?
I was recently prescribed the drug Valium from my Doctor. I was am being prescribed Valium for bouts with anxiety and nervousness. I was just wondering if anyone had any information on this particular drug including side effects and normal effects. Also does this drug has the potential for recreational use or abuse?
My aunt is prescribed that for anxiety and she gave me one cuz I saw her acting all floaty and I wanted to have in, it kicks in like 30 mins after you take it, you start to feel all drunk and floaty, with a not-give-a-fcuk attitude..i was smoking weed walking around my house naked just cuz i just didn’t give a fcuk lol then all of sudden the drowsiness overcomes you and you feel heavy, wake up the next day tired as hell, at least I did, but if you do have an anxiety problem, it will probably just help it and take the edge off. I know a lot of people who take it for fun though, I can’t, I get too ballsy lol
Long term diazepam (Valium) use side effects?
Is there any side effects of long term diazepam (valium) use in children? Does it permanently affect intelligence, memory or motor functions? Is there any study conducted to support this?
Thank you for all those answering this question.
P.S. I know that diazepam is a sedative used for seizures, alcohol withdrawal and muscle spasms. I also know the common side but is there any permanent damage associated with long term usage in children?
Benzodiazepines may affect learning and memory.
You should under no circumstances give a child any benzodiazepines without a doctor’s order! Valium is a strong drug with serious side-effects and a great addiction potential.
What does Valium do to a person?
What is Valium used for and what are the side effects? Does it turn you into a drug induced zombie?
