Wow. Just 28 straight minutes of incredibly useful information. I wish more physicians went into this much detail when prescribing a patient a drug - especially a controlled substance. This information can save lives. Thank you so much for this video.
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!
What kind of idiot takes someone off valium overnight after 15 years??? Even if you are on valium for, say, six months, you should still not stop cold turkey!! I'd sue that hack for malpractice, if I were you!
So many doctor channels talk down to viewers expecting them to be experts and understand everything. You, Doctor, explain, take the time to include do many specifics!. It make a massive contribution to medical study for layman and student alike. Thank you for taking the time to explain the doctor-eze!
You encourage me to become a doctor with all these physiatric medications, I would love to help people that actually need these medicines and not abuse them. Thank you!
I just got back on Valium today it's 2022 I sufered without since 2014 I was took of Klonopin and was on two horrible medicines one was hydroxyzine and the other with thorazine so I was happy to have both of those medications eliminated and just take the value instead of both those I got a lot of anxiety when I took the hydroxyzine even more than normal seem like in the Thorzine was causing to almost faint every time I got out of bed
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 had it for 2 months. 5mg for muscle spasm relief. I asked my doctor for a 3rd month. He said no. And now I'm very grateful. I won't ask him again. 2 months is long enough on Diazepam.
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.
Precise, exhaustive, very clear. Thank you very much doctor. - My mother always took diazepam. This drug destroyed my family of origin. - Only now I understood why. - Personally I don't take any medicine continuously. - I have a specific criticism of the entire medical profession who has prescribed this drug excessively lightly. - No one in the past was aware of the serious consequences. - I advise people to actively seek information on any medicine taken for a long time.
I am 25 have been on 5mg 3 times a day. I now have to go to have mris every 6 months because I have excessive cerebral atrophy and I have around 8 years of life left. I'm literally dying because of diazepam and they can't take me off it even in small slow amounts as I start having seizures and have already suffered so much Ive tried to take my life once by tying my bedsheets around my neck and jumping from my loft hoping it would break my neck. I now have a massive scar around my neck under my jaw and I feel like a freak so I don't leave my flat. I fuckin hate this life I wish I never took it.

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.
Don't wait for all this to happen. Don't wait to get diagnosed with Dysatuomnia. This is what happened to me and not one doctor knew for years.. I ended up in acute wd . I am not down to 1.3 from 20 mg after 16 years.

It's a very interesting compound anxiolitic. It's better than some short acting benzos. You just gotta cut 2mg a week to taper off. A very good video doc thanks.
6 hours later TOMORROW? Wow that’s a long time for a drug to hang around I didn’t know that. Even a bad acid trip is over in 12 or so hours but this stuff is still working on you at 30 hours out :O
I was on diazepam for 5 years, then it wasn't working as well so I was then put on nitrazepam for 2 years. Then after nitrazepam I was prescribed clonazepam and that is the best benzo I've found for anxiety. No 2mg clonazepam in stock for a couple of months so I am back on diazepam and oxazepam until clonazepam 2mg is back in stock.
I take flunitrazepan and have been taking it since 1991 it’s 2024 and I’m addiicted im also on Valium and have tried Ativan when hypnodorm wasn’t available (stock) I use it due to severe insomnia it’s a great drug and I haven’t experienced any problems. 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. These are all hardcore medications and I will require hospitalisation to come off these medications. Thank you for the information Dr Ken it makes sense to me.
Nearly impossible 2 come off😢 every time i try i become a strong alcoholic & then the circle is round i come off alchohol & iam on benzos again now i do it easy betzeen 5mg 15 mg a day & 2 to 5 beers its keeping me alive 😢 without my heart stops from panic & extreme fear pff
taper it slowly . alcool gives you anxiety and makes you waking up during the nnight. Mirtazapine helps me a lot to come of valium. I drink now 2 beers in the evening and 15mg of Remeron bfore bed. No more bezo for 2month after 5years of it. Be strong
@@maximebertand-xt5gh thanks man i do my best iam now on 8 mg diazepam a day .. its harder &longer 2 come off then heroine x 20 ! & i did heroine 2 5 years ago so i know what iam talking about the remergon i have 2 talk about it with my doctor . But thanks though ! Stay strong 2 💯🇧🇪
For me personally as a recipient of Diazepam since mid-late 2007 I started at x2 5mg daily then in 2010 I didn’t see my doctor for over 2months due to a huge change in my life that I won’t go into but since I’ve been receiving them every 40-50days since 2010 and now in 2021 I only take them when I’m stressing Tf out or am having anxiety due to family circumstances not excuses just facts. And within 15mins after dosing eating or not I can feel the effects of the 5mg tabs again that’s only now that I don’t take them everyday anymore.
The house wife prince valium lol .....that's what gave diazepam a bad name one of the first drugs that big pharma pushed to crazy numbers that made like a billion dollars ....big pharma decides what docs prescribe....
Diazepam is the only thing that helps my anxiety and panic attacks sadly no doctor will prescribe it in the uk and I've been countless amount of times in last 2 years, they just guinea pig me on a new anti depressant I've already been through 8 different ones & beta blockers that dont help me atall and just make me worse.. also tried cbt with no help atall. 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.
Yep... only a person with severe debilitating anxiety would understand. It's the only thing that works. They say it's addictive but everything is... you just have to take it not more than a few times a week. I have been socially isolated for years, homebound but it's the only cure to help me get out. I'll take the risks because the crippling anxiety and not be able to have a life will kill me in the end anyway.
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.
Appreciate all your work. Any plans on covering carisoprodol at some point, I'm on 10mg amitryptaline for nerve pain and have been given valium at 10mg twice a day for 2 days now to see if it helps with the pain in my chest and back which they think is nerve/ muscular skeletal. I have also been given carisoprodol but I haven't tried that yet because I don't know much about it.
I’m on Valium 5mg as and when needed for nerve pain. I couldn’t handle the side effects of amitriptyline, been on Valium for well over a year. Just got it on repeat this week
They sure feel good at first, but it does not take long before the normal dose no longer works. Don't use it for a couple of years and it will work again for maybe a week.
This depends on the person. Some ppl have taken valium for over 40 years and still find it effective. This is not a one size shoe fits all. YMMV as they say.
But why doctors will prescribe SSRI'S antidepressants with big smile but benzos oh no .. I don't understand that. The side effects of antidepressants are horrible & if you anxious that's even worse I don't understand these docs... I have to go tho the plug then? & put my life in risk ..
@@yannickvermaelen2077zo will helps for anxiety but don't forget what it gives you will have to payback x10. Its good for a while but tolerance is fast and your anxiety will becomes a demon. Nthing worst than come off benzo. AD withdrawals are for babies compare to that pills from Hell
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.
So at the end he said diazepam was cheap,, so how does that work then, with a coupon,, can you buy them over the counter!!?? Surely not,,IME confused with the coupon mention!!??
My dentist is prescribing due to 17 tooth extractions. Just 2 x 5mg tabs 1 night before extraction and 1 on morning of extraction. What will it do for me, not depressed or a drug user, but do find it difficult to sleep. Will it block out my teeth extraction fear.
@@missys1540 Yes I did as no other option tramadol, but only for 8 days. Then suffered 5 days of withdrawal symptoms, neck ache, ice pack around neck helped.
Na if truely taken only once or twice a week 1-2 days out of 7 days is ok you got 5 days without it but once you get into the great feeling you gotta have strong discipline to not take it more frequently
Very informative thanks for taking the time for explaining how everything works. I've been prescribed the medicine for about 6 months and I'm experiencing insomnia don't know why but I can attest to the fact that in some cases it does make you more irratible and rage tendencies. For me it's about my day when it's good it's good when it's bad it starts a nightmare rollercoaster of revenge thoughts and in defense mode the rest of the day
Somneang Time87 it definitely puts me in a sleep state in certain quantities and certain strains will have different effects. Remember, kratom isn’t for human consumption :) but yeah it can help. Be very careful with that stuff
One of the most evil things in America is the privatisation of the health service. I’m so glad I am from the U.K. where I get all my health care for free. God bless the moral United Kingdom 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
No doubt this drug works wonders for some conditions. I regret taking it LONG TERM for severe anxiety though. If your Dr is resistent to prescribe you this it's for a good reason. It's seriously addictive, you build up a tollerance quickly, it's desperately difficult to taper off after long term use with terrifying side effects.
@@lebeardotnet4372 i am now tapering from 10 mg to 5 mg , because i tried to go cold turkey and without succes , so how did you did it , have you stop taking cold turkey? , what did you take ? , and what dose ?
@@lebeardotnet4372 i understand , the big problem that i have is insomnia , i mean i can't sleep , how much time it takes for sleep to return to normal again ? I think maybe 2 - 3 months or moore ?
@@baicamarian from what I can remember in my experience there was a couple of weeks where I couldn't sleep more than an hour. It did start to improve thereafter, sleep is an ongoing issue I'm challenged with also. What I can remember really helped me through the process was practicing deep relaxation. There's an app called Synctuition I'd listen to that before trying to sleep and also during the day. In the evening I would also incorporate Whiskey Breathing, there's videos on TH-cam for instructions. The app really helped ground me during the toughest times and continues to assist me with anxiety and sleep.
In other words, Diazepam will take the edge off your anxiety and there's a very small chance it might do about 175 other things you'd rather it didn't.... if you're very unlucky, or crazily sensitive. I've taken diazepam whilst taking a massive variety of ADs etc without any effect other than a welcome calming. I'm not going to go 12 rounds with Dr Freak ... but geez can it possibly produce so many potential effects?
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 🤷🏻♂️

It's pretty easy to understand what it does or doesn't do. It's only for the physical symptoms of anxiety.
I absolutely love your approach
It's a very interesting compound anxiolitic. It's better than some short acting benzos. You just gotta cut 2mg a week to taper off. A very good video doc thanks.
This gentleman is a Genius
6 hours later TOMORROW? Wow that’s a long time for a drug to hang around I didn’t know that. Even a bad acid trip is over in 12 or so hours but this stuff is still working on you at 30 hours out :O
I was on diazepam for 5 years, then it wasn't working as well so I was then put on nitrazepam for 2 years. Then after nitrazepam I was prescribed clonazepam and that is the best benzo I've found for anxiety. No 2mg clonazepam in stock for a couple of months so I am back on diazepam and oxazepam until clonazepam 2mg is back in stock.
I take flunitrazepan and have been taking it since 1991 it’s 2024 and I’m addiicted im also on Valium and have tried Ativan when hypnodorm wasn’t available (stock) I use it due to severe insomnia it’s a great drug and I haven’t experienced any problems. 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. These are all hardcore medications and I will require hospitalisation to come off these medications. Thank you for the information Dr Ken it makes sense to me.
Very interesting, Sir!
Klopomin is better❤
This man is a talking book. I love it.
Nearly impossible 2 come off😢 every time i try i become a strong alcoholic & then the circle is round i come off alchohol & iam on benzos again now i do it easy betzeen 5mg 15 mg a day & 2 to 5 beers its keeping me alive 😢 without my heart stops from panic & extreme fear pff
taper it slowly . alcool gives you anxiety and makes you waking up during the nnight. Mirtazapine helps me a lot to come of valium. I drink now 2 beers in the evening and 15mg of Remeron bfore bed. No more bezo for 2month after 5years of it. Be strong
@@maximebertand-xt5gh thanks man i do my best iam now on 8 mg diazepam a day .. its harder &longer 2 come off then heroine x 20 ! & i did heroine 2 5 years ago so i know what iam talking about the remergon i have 2 talk about it with my doctor . But thanks though ! Stay strong 2 💯🇧🇪
Excellent coverage off diazepam
For me personally as a recipient of Diazepam since mid-late 2007 I started at x2 5mg daily then in 2010 I didn’t see my doctor for over 2months due to a huge change in my life that I won’t go into but since I’ve been receiving them every 40-50days since 2010 and now in 2021 I only take them when I’m stressing Tf out or am having anxiety due to family circumstances not excuses just facts. And within 15mins after dosing eating or not I can feel the effects of the 5mg tabs again that’s only now that I don’t take them everyday anymore.
Do u take it for Ur insomnia??
I remember back in the 60's & 70's. Many housewives were prescribed this to ease their malaise and other "problems".
+
buck shot
Were those housewives also diagnosed with hysteria and prescribed the relief du jour?
Oof! You've delivered a gut punch for every God-fearing woman who's taking Valium and drinking too much wine.
The house wife prince valium lol .....that's what gave diazepam a bad name one of the first drugs that big pharma pushed to crazy numbers that made like a billion dollars ....big pharma decides what docs prescribe....
Rolling Stones, mamma's little helper 🎶
I’m under the impression that the half-life of diazepam is functionally more like 120hrs owing to its pharmacological active metabolite. Right? Wrong?
Diazepam is the only thing that helps my anxiety and panic attacks sadly no doctor will prescribe it in the uk and I've been countless amount of times in last 2 years, they just guinea pig me on a new anti depressant I've already been through 8 different ones & beta blockers that dont help me atall and just make me worse.. also tried cbt with no help atall. 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.
The longer your on them the worse, you shouldn’t be using it everyday if you can help it ...
Helps short term, over prescribed. It looses its effect and coming off it you can get withdrawal - very horrible.
@@Jaymiiiieful but how to deal with insomnia if withdraw it?
Yep... only a person with severe debilitating anxiety would understand. It's the only thing that works. They say it's addictive but everything is... you just have to take it not more than a few times a week. I have been socially isolated for years, homebound but it's the only cure to help me get out. I'll take the risks because the crippling anxiety and not be able to have a life will kill me in the end anyway.
Should you use Valium to get off of klonopin ???? please advise
@NoPain NoGain No you are wrong....Lyrica is for diabetes neuropathy
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.
Look up the Ashton Manual
diazepam and suboxone (buprenorphine / naloxone) ?
Dr, can valium take with matazipine
Appreciate all your work. Any plans on covering carisoprodol at some point, I'm on 10mg amitryptaline for nerve pain and have been given valium at 10mg twice a day for 2 days now to see if it helps with the pain in my chest and back which they think is nerve/ muscular skeletal. I have also been given carisoprodol but I haven't tried that yet because I don't know much about it.
I’m on Valium 5mg as and when needed for nerve pain. I couldn’t handle the side effects of amitriptyline, been on Valium for well over a year. Just got it on repeat this week
Carisoprodol (Soma) is IMO the best muscle relaxer still produced. Highly effective, but prone to abuse so be safe. Much more powerful than benzos.
Sir, Your videos are excellent and very knowledgeful. Request you to do a video on Moto Neuron Disease.
A walking encyclopedia.this is the doctor I've been searching for.
They sure feel good at first, but it does not take long before the normal dose no longer works. Don't use it for a couple of years and it will work again for maybe a week.
Good for about 3 days
This depends on the person. Some ppl have taken valium for over 40 years and still find it effective. This is not a one size shoe fits all. YMMV as they say.
can you use a board to show all that you are talking about...visual + audio helps more than either alone
Where can I obtain this medication UK ?
Are you serious, it´s been around for 70 years? Most likely you´ll need a doctors prescription and they don´t like giving them out nowadays.
But why doctors will prescribe SSRI'S antidepressants with big smile but benzos oh no .. I don't understand that. The side effects of antidepressants are horrible & if you anxious that's even worse I don't understand these docs... I have to go tho the plug then? & put my life in risk ..
@@yannickvermaelen2077zo will helps for anxiety but don't forget what it gives you will have to payback x10. Its good for a while but tolerance is fast and your anxiety will becomes a demon. Nthing worst than come off benzo. AD withdrawals are for babies compare to that pills from Hell

The brand is not available in USA. It was a cute pill with a v shaped open area in the middle.
@@jw77019wish we had those but they're just simple round yellow pills
Would you have and advices on long team affects of taking these say around 29 years on a 39mg dose daily ?
Wow thats so dangerous be careful you will have seizure fur sure
Did you mean 30mg daily dose, typo? That´s a long time combined with a fairly high dose. Has your dose been the same for the whole time?
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.
valium is the most well rounded imo.. has a nice sense of warm relaxation.. xanax just hits me in the face
So at the end he said diazepam was cheap,, so how does that work then, with a coupon,, can you buy them over the counter!!?? Surely not,,IME confused with the coupon mention!!??
Thank you
My dentist is prescribing due to 17 tooth extractions.
Just 2 x 5mg tabs 1 night before extraction and 1 on morning of extraction.
What will it do for me, not depressed or a drug user, but do find it difficult to sleep.
Will it block out my teeth extraction fear.
Did you take it?
@@missys1540 Yes I did as no other option tramadol, but only for 8 days.
Then suffered 5 days of withdrawal symptoms, neck ache, ice pack around neck helped.
@@notofthisworld7777😂😂
Can tolerance develop if taken once or twice a week over a long period of time? Thanks for the video btw.
Na if truely taken only once or twice a week 1-2 days out of 7 days is ok you got 5 days without it but once you get into the great feeling you gotta have strong discipline to not take it more frequently
Thanks doc awesome video
Very informative thanks for taking the time for explaining how everything works. I've been prescribed the medicine for about 6 months and I'm experiencing insomnia don't know why but I can attest to the fact that in some cases it does make you more irratible and rage tendencies. For me it's about my day when it's good it's good when it's bad it starts a nightmare rollercoaster of revenge thoughts and in defense mode the rest of the day
I would like your take on Kratom if you're taking request. Thank you. Your channel has been invaluable.

wellnowdoctor thanks, I will!
Dose kratom help you to sleep?
Somneang Time87 it definitely puts me in a sleep state in certain quantities and certain strains will have different effects. Remember, kratom isn’t for human consumption :) but yeah it can help. Be very careful with that stuff

No doubt this drug works wonders for some conditions. I regret taking it LONG TERM for severe anxiety though. If your Dr is resistent to prescribe you this it's for a good reason.
It's seriously addictive, you build up a tollerance quickly, it's desperately difficult to taper off after long term use with terrifying side effects.
But it is not impossible to quit , i stop taking diazepam cold turkey after 3 years of use 10 mg at night
@@baicamarian Hi Biaca, that's great, I quit them after 3 years use also last October. Most certainly it can be done.
@@lebeardotnet4372 i am now tapering from 10 mg to 5 mg , because i tried to go cold turkey and without succes , so how did you did it , have you stop taking cold turkey? , what did you take ? , and what dose ?
@@lebeardotnet4372 i understand , the big problem that i have is insomnia , i mean i can't sleep , how much time it takes for sleep to return to normal again ? I think maybe 2 - 3 months or moore ?
@@baicamarian from what I can remember in my experience there was a couple of weeks where I couldn't sleep more than an hour. It did start to improve thereafter, sleep is an ongoing issue I'm challenged with also.
What I can remember really helped me through the process was practicing deep relaxation. There's an app called Synctuition I'd listen to that before trying to sleep and also during the day. In the evening I would also incorporate Whiskey Breathing, there's videos on TH-cam for instructions. The app really helped ground me during the toughest times and continues to assist me with anxiety and sleep.
In other words, Diazepam will take the edge off your anxiety and there's a very small chance it might do about 175 other things you'd rather it didn't.... if you're very unlucky, or crazily sensitive. I've taken diazepam whilst taking a massive variety of ADs etc without any effect other than a welcome calming. I'm not going to go 12 rounds with Dr Freak ... but geez can it possibly produce so many potential effects?
Well said doc.
I'm gonna start it in 11 days, I'm so nervous hopefully it'll help.
I love watching your videos
How do you remove Diazepam build up from the system?
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 🤷🏻♂️

Why have I been prescribed Valium to treat vertigo?
It affects the receptors at the vestibular level (the vestibular nerve)
For Ménière’s disease vertigo attacks. Take it quick it works better then anything else.
I'm on methadone for 30yrs and Valium 10mg a day ???????? for insomnia ,muscle spasms and sciatica , Also no problems ever with the methadone at all ! From experience not a book ! So I tend not to listen to much to people or Dr,s that have not been their sorry ! Going and sitting on a chair for 10yrs does zip for me !
Does methadone help u in insomnia?I have heared that it causes insomnia ??
Ive been on this for spasticity

I now benzodiazepines also but without I have extreme panic & restlessness
Please help me with some info thanks
Yes of course you can.. don't abuse them though
@@ValentinaKajcinovska hi I have tried ssri and they are pretty helpful at the end trust me. Try adderall or Ritalin cuz they help with low attention issues and used off label for depression and anxiety too
I think this caused my tinnitus
If you think it did, you are probably right.
Post acute withdrawals syndrome which can last into several years? No studies on this after 4 months or so? How are you possibly giving all these time-lines for withdrawals? This is absurd.
Thank you Dr fauchi

OK so now I'm scared to take my prescription... 😂😂😂 No. really though 😨 lol
