User Reviews for diazepam oral

I was given this prior to an MRI due to claustrophobia. I've had many MRI's and can't go through one without the valium. Take one 45 minutes before, then I take 1/2 one 5 minutes before - it works.

I HAVE PANIC/ANXIETY DISORDER. IM 59 AND HAVE HAD IT FOR PROBABLY 50 YRS. THEY JUST PICKED UP ON WHAT IT WAS ABOUT 10 YRS AGO. THEY PUT ME ON EVERYTHING IN THE BOOK, AND THEN ALONG CAME DIAZEPAM. I HATE TAKING PILLS, BUT I TOOK A PART OF ONE HERE AND THERE AND FOUND OUT IT WASNT SO BAD. I HAVE BEEN ON THEM CONSTANT FOR 6 YRS. I DONT CARE IF IT HABIT FORMING. MY PANIC HAS DROPPED BUT STILL NOT ENOUGH AS I STILL HAVE THEM. IF THEY WERE TO TAKE IT AWAY I DONT KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO. I CAN FUNDTION MOST OF THE TIME. I DONT ABUSE IT AND LIKE I SAID, OVER THE YRS THEY HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO CALM ME DOWN. I NOW HAVE HIGH BP, CHOLESTEROL, FIBROMYALGIA, 2 BACK SURGERIES BEHIND ME AND STRESS TO MAX. BUT AT LEAST IM NOT RUNNING TO HOSPITAL THINKING IM DYING EVERY MONTH BECAUSE THIS HAS HELPED. THE DOCTORS DO NOT LIKE TO GIVE OUT MEDS. BUT WHEN YOU HAVE SUFFERED FOR 45+ YRS, WHO CARES IF IM ADDICTED. I JUST WANT TO LIVE OUT LIFE IN SOME KIND OF CALMNESS.....Read More Read Less

NO LONGER GRINDING TEETH AT NIGHT, TENSION HEADACHES ALMOST NONEXISTANT. HAS WORKED FOR ME

I think this pill hangs on for the next day. It is hard to shake off in the mornings.But it works very well.

I have taken diazapam (valium) for over 25 years for muscle spasticity due to MS. I take 5-10mg 4 times a day depending on the severity of the spasticity. Without this drug, I would not be able to walk or have any fine-motor skills at all. This drug has been a huge help!

I take this for E. Tremors, Migraines and GAD. It works very well.

I've had a severe back spasm for 5 days. Doc gave me 5mg 3x a day as needed. It must be a placebo. I think a shot of tequila would work better - without this useless pill of course.

This was used for oral sedation and I was very pleased with the results. The calming effect was excellent and procedure went amazingly smooth and I was in less pain after my procedure. The medication was wasy to take, no large pills to swallow. My experience was satifactory.

Suffered a back spasm that also grabbed my sciatic nerve and put it in a 'death grip.' Intense pain along entire right leg - totally relieved by taking 10mg dose of Diazepam, as prescribed. Also relieved the back spasm as well. Worked great.

I was prescribed diazepam for treatment of chronic dizziness and vertigo. After over 2 years of searching for an answer, a very low dose (1 mg, 3 times per day) has relieved my dizziness without sedating me. In fact, I actually have MORE energy than less on this drug at this dosage level. This is an "off-label" use of this drug according to the neurologist that prescribed it. It has allowed me to go back to a normal or near-normal life. Seems odd that a medication that can make you "dizzy" can, in very low doses, relieve vertigo and unsteadiness. My non-medical theory is that it calms down what I would describe as an electrical storm in my brain. Moving scenes on TV or bright lights in a store would trigger my vertigo - no longer. I previously tried meclizine, but even at low doses it just knocked me out and all I did was sleep the day away. I cut 2 mg tabs in half to create my 1 mg doses. The plan is to cut back to 2 mg/day after a couple of months and see how it goes.Read More Read Less

I take this for my tension headache, but also to counteract the caffeine in my other tension headache medicine, fiorinal, which I also take right before bedtime. I sleep like a baby.

Diagnosed with clinical depression 20 years ago, I have been prescribed numerous antidepressants. The therapeutic benefits of these meds have deteriorated over the years and have been overridden by debilitating side-effects. Diazepam is the only medication that has been consistently efective over the years for allieviating anxiety and panic without the negative aspects. I take 5mg tabs 3-4 times daily.

I had a horrible Romboid/Lat pull that hurt even when I did something as simple as breath. This med combined with Vicodan and lortab allowed me to relax, breath freely and rest comfortably so I could eventually heal the pulled muscle. It took nearly a week to get some normal range of motion back so I started cutting dosages by half and then was off it altogether.

I Take Diazepam 5mg 4 X a day for PTSD, Bipolar, Anxiaty And A Few Other Problems. It Is Definately A Very Helpful Medication. I Can Only Recommend That You Ask Your Doctor About All Of The Risks Of Taking It Before You Jump Into A Med Like This. But It Is A LifeSaver For Me.
