It usually works.
|
|
CONS:
|
Sometimes it makes me feel worse.
|
|
Not as good as Xanax. Often makes me sleepy when all I want is relief from Limited System Panic Attacks. Sometimes it makes me angry - as it is wearing off. I do not have anger issues - but every so often, maybe six or seven hours after taking Valium, I want to strangle the cat, the dog, and anything else that happens to be within reach.

i have tried several drugs for anxiety ,none worked very well. Diazapam is the only drug that has helped with my pms,which leads to agitation and anxiety, highly recommended,the only downside it is quite addictive,but i would rather be on diazapam than suffer the terrible agitation and anxiety that i suffered before i started taking this drug,,another thing i found it killed my sex drive,,,but i can live with that!!!!but for how long i am not sure!!!!

PROS:
|
Effective for multiple medical conditions other than anxiety
|
|
CONS:
|
Potential for abuse-and the folks who abused it for those who need it
|
|
Good overall--the liquid is pricey, and with a malabsorption syndrome, I have to have liquid. My insurance won't cover compounded. The liquid is also very nasty-tasting. Other than that, it's effective--both for my anxiety, sometimes sleep, and the muscles spasms I get as a result of SPS.

I just started taking Valium. I've tried Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax XR and all three were not strong enough to help my worst panic attacks. So far, 5mg of Valium is doing the trick. I hope it lasts!

Valium has done an excellent job at calming me down when needed. I have struggled with panic attacks and generilized anxiety for ages now and valium has helped me more than anything.Granted it can be addictive, I think overall it is a really good drug.

I'm not sure where I stand, it worked fabulously for me, but with my addictive personality it's dangerous.

If you're extremely sensitive to hypnotics you'll find out the next morning >.<

Had servere TMJ spasming/pain and took the minimum dosage as directed after work on a Friday. The next thing I know it's Saturday morning and my wife is pissed at me.
Apparently I ate a fresh tray of brownies she baked and was walking around like I was drunk & acting like a brat.. I had no knowledge of these accusations lol.
But I knew she wasn't making them up neither.

have been on valium for quite a number of years, My highest dose was 15 mls a day, over the last few years I have cut back to 1 to 2 mls a day, Its a crutch for me, I advise any one to stay away from this drug,

Great. Really calming and helps insomnia.
|
|
CONS:

Makes you drowsy the following day.
|

This drug is great in the intial stages of anxiety but not for long term use. Also really helps as a relaxant for patients with bipolar on lithium who are unable to be prescribed NSAIDs...my doctor did this for me when I tore a tendon, it was prescibed with diahydricodiene.

Helps for relaxation and falling asleep. A very mild medication, however continued daily use is usually not advisable. As with all prescription meds, talk to a health care professional face to face before use.

I am maybe not typical in that I have never had to up the dose I started at. I find the 5 mgs 3 x's a day PRN is perfect for relaxing me. It's not a costly med, doesn't make me sleepy, no dry mouth. I really like it for my dx and have been on it in excess of 10 years.

PROS:

at beginning, helps control effect of anxiety
|
|
CONS:
|
with time, it takes more & more to have same effect
|
|
Valium is the same as diazepam. I was taking valium/dizaepam for almost 12 years. When I initially started taking it, it seemed to be fairly effective in controling my anxiety levels. The longer I was taking it, the more I needed to take to get the same relief. I could almost down a whole bottle full without it having any effect by the end, so I decided to stop taking it at all. From what I have heard, I was lucky to not go through any withdrawall at all. Even when I go back now & take it, it still seems to have no helpful effect on the anxiety.

I found it was good for my PA, and overall muscle spasms I get. Works great for those. After the inital drowsiness I didn't have any "odd" side effects, which was nice. The only down side is not prescribed for long term use.
