Diazepam

  • Originally approved in 1959, diazepam marketed as Valium ultimately became the first drug to surpass $1 billion in yearly sales. Even though the drug is more than 60 years old, it still ranks as the 112th most frequently prescribed drug in the United States. This benzodiazepine belongs to the same family as Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan, Serax and Restoril.
    Principally prescribed to treat anxiety related disorders, diazepam may be helpful in combating skeletal muscle spasms, alcohol withdrawal related delirium tremens and short term insomnia. Diazepam also may ameliorate complications resulting from hallucinogens and certain stimulants - LSD, cocaine and methamphetamine. Diazepam also provides temporary relief of seizures.
    Governmental guidelines discourage use of the benzodiazepines in general and specifically diazepam. Diazepam has a long half life and tends to accumulate in the body with regular use. In senior citizens, diazepam may interfere with memory and coordination and result in confusion, slurred speech, difficulty walking and depression.
    Non-medical use of diazepam in combination with opioids regularly leads to respiratory depression, coma and death. An intentional or accidental overdosage with diazepam by itself seldom results in death. Common drug related fatalities occur with various mixtures of diazepam, alcohol, opioids, barbiturates, heroin and other central nervous system depressants. This lethal cocktail kills more than 10,000 individuals each year.

    I took valium everyday for 15 years and never took more than I should and it worked great. My doctor stopped it one day, said it was bad for me, and then eventually I started drinking alcohol for anxiety and now alcoholic. Worst thing that ever happened. BTW antidepressants don't work for anxiety. None of them!

      I've been taking it for maybe 25 years. About a year ago, I upped the dose to 30mg/day because it basically stopped working. I won't go any higher, but I'm not concerned. After being on it for 15 years, at about 20mg/day, I went cold turkey for a couple of weeks to see if I had any withdrawal. I didn't. The most interesting thing this doctor said, related to my case, is that it inhibits short-term memory. I'm 68 and after getting COVID, my S/T memory is horrible. I wondering if upping my dose to 30mg may have contributed to the brain drain. Perhaps I'll back off a bit. It barely does anything anyway after being on it so long. But while it was working, it was a wonder drug for me. My body loved the stuff. Now, it doesn't care.

    I have been taking 10mg once with breakfast daily for a while. Since Sept. 1969. I have never taken more than that although I do drink to access. 9 oz of rum daily spread over three measured drinks starting at 4:00pm. to about 1:00am. I started the drug because of brain fog. I have tried cutting back but anything less than 10mg brings on debilitating brain fog again. I seem to have no other health problems. Normal blood pressure, no problems with any other body parts or blood tests. I can function totally normally with the two drugs. No one is aware of my drug abuse. I cannot function without it. I play piano well, dance, travel, and live a normal life in spite of my two addictions. Only my wife knows. My doctor thinks I am a non drinker. All is well otherwise. I keep waiting for bad results to show up. When it does I will decide what to do then.

    I will say one thing in defence of low dose valium... if you have a painful muscle spasm that will not ease...2mg of Valium will help relax the spasm enough for you to get some gentle stretches in and release that muscle properly...It's worked wonders for me one time.

      I had severe chest pain a couple of year ago. When I say severe I mean off the charts pain. Obviously checked for cardiac problems and all was clear but it kept happening every night. Eventually they said it was anxiety which it obviously was not because of the level of pain. Sure enough though I felt better after a 5mg diazepam, I couldn't understand why. A few months later I asked a doctor about these episodes. He thought this might have been esophagus spasms. I'll never be without diazepam for as long as I live.

During the years I’ve reduced my dose from 6mg to 2mg and am now tappering off of Valium. I suffer from C-PTSD, Chronic Anxiety and Chronic depression. I also take panadine forte for lower back pain and have been since 1991 if my pain flares up I take palexia.

I wish they would just listen to me and give me what I know helps me. They just say oh no they are addictive they wont help you even though I know they do.

      I thought the same. I took it upon myself to procure my own supply and I was right for about 4 months, because I felt a lot better for that amount of time. After that, the drug became less effective but by then I was dependent. It took me about 3 years to be in a position to be able to start the withdrawal process. That 3 years was rubbish beyond belief. The 18 months it took to taper off has been harrowing at times and completely disabling. I'm about to find out what it's like to withdraw completely. Fun!
      It's not the silver bullet you think it is. Not in the long run. Try vaporizing CBD hemp weed. I found it recently and it helped my withdrawal anxiety symptoms. It seems to help normal anxiety symptoms. It's legal to buy in the UK, just not very common. hempelf.com is one site you can buy it from but there are more. You might find that you can drop the other psych meds too. It's heartbreaking to hear how many drugs people are cycled through. That's a cause of anxiety symptoms in and of itself, yanking your brain chemistry all over the place.

    I have taken it many times, it is a very effective for anxiety and yes it is very long acting. You actually feel it the next day. Especially if you take a high dose the night before. But I prefer Valium over other benzodiazepines. Which is weird these days, most people like Xanax more. They are both effective medications. The best generic for diazepam which is as good as brand name “Roche” I feel is “Barr Laboratories” and the worst generic is “Mylan” It is weak, in my opinion.

      Klonopin is the most addictive benzo in my opinion. I don't know what it does to the brain but it changes my entire personality and my way of looking at the world. Valium is a much safer drug in my opinion and much easier to taper off of. When I'm on Valium I can't even tell that I'm on it. It just simply takes the edge off slightly. I would definitely switch to Valium asap and try your best to wean yourself off it (following a manual or a doctor's supervision). It's almost impossible to taper off of Klonopin in my opinion. I know that both drugs are benzodiazepines, but the effects from the two drugs are completely different in my opinion. In my opinion, Klonopin is even more addictive than Xanax which says a lot.

      I don’t think we can honestly and objectively say what would actually speed up the removal of diazepam stored in the body, like in fat. It really likes fat, so starting with exercise and a really healthy well rounded diet might help. Fasting. Who knows, I sure don’t, but what can objectively be said, is safe and supervised cessation/discontinuation and time will clear the drug from the system.
      @21:20 ~”if you take a certain drug that stimulates the drug (diazepam) metabolizing enzymes 3a4... it’s going to speed the bodies ability to metabolize the diazepam.” This is mostly speaking about its effect on efficacy during the duration of action, but it may be a start 🤷🏻‍♂️
