| 4 | Anxiety | None... | I need 40mg diazepam to totaly kill my anxiety, it's not one of the most potent benzodiazepins. | M | 20 | 3 months | 1/14/2007 | 4 | sleeping difficulties, anxiety | Feel it makes me pee more, wonder whether it has an effect on my memory - this makes me more anxious! -, wonder whether it affects my eyes in the longer term | HOWEVER, when I was really anxious there was nothing else that helped. This is the only thing which helps so I'm grateful to it. They were very keen on my taking anti-depressants and every one of these was a total waste of time. | F | 56 | 2 years | 10/13/2006 | 4 | Anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia | Dry mouth, slight tiredness when I wake up. | I was taking ativan but there were fast withdrawal effects if I didnt take it again right away. I also had insomnia from it. Valium seems to help me for now.. | F | 31 | 1 weeks | 12/18/2005 | 4 | PMT | My PMT causes me to feel very agitated, stressed and have panic attacks which can be vry dibilitating, valium eases all of these symptoms, I only take it when needed and usually go two to three weeks withought any but when I am in PMT mode its a godsend otherwise I wouldnt be able to work or function properly. Find a cure for PMT and I will be happy to come off it but untill then its theonly thing that has ever worked to any degree. | F | 41 | 5 years | 10/19/2005 | 4 | | 2/19/2005 | 4 | | 2/6/2005 | 4 | Anxiety attack caused by macrobid | Sleep inducing | The sedative effect lasts just 5 or 6 hours, then I wake up wide awake (but happy) in the middle of the night | F | 44 | | 2/1/2005 | 4 | lower back muscle spasms | sleepiness, constipation, anti-anxiety (GOOD!), teeth grinding, tolerance | I take percocet and a muscle relaxant to ease the pain of a herniated disc. I take a stool softener daily so I won't get constipated. I switch between valium & soma every month or two, once the drug stops working well. Valium makes me more sleepy than somas if I take more than 1 a day. All 3 (percocet, soma, valium) are great for anxiety. | F | 25 | 4 months | 11/15/2004 | 4 | HYPERTROPHIC GASTRITIS/CONSTIPATION | NONE | I SUFFER FROM IBS WITH CONSTIPATION AND GASTRITIS AND TRYING TO GET VALIUM FOR SHORT TERM RELIEF - THIS WAS PRESCRIBED TO ME YEARS AGO AND HELPED ALTHOUGH NOW I CAN'T GET A DOC TO PRESCRIBE FOR ME - ANY COMMENTS - ALSO THINKING OF USING XENICAL TO HELP HAVE BEEN ON ZELNORM AND MIRALAX - BUT THEY ARE NOT QUITE DOING THE TRICK - MY STOMACH LOOKS LIKE I AM 3 MOS PREG - HAVE HAD A HYSTERECT FOR FIBROIDS AND ENDOMETRIOSIS | 3 months | 5/12/2004 | 4 | Stress relief | low energy, tired | did whats it's sposed to do too bad it's so addictive and dr's are afraid to prescribe more than a weeks worth at a time. All the good drugs are addictive...bummer. | M | 36 | 1 weeks | 4/30/2004 | 4 | | 4/14/2004 | 4 | anxiety, Meniere's disease | Euphoria, drowsiness, disinhibition | Very effective drug. Too good actually. Had to get off it. On Buspar now | M | 50 | 12 years | 1/14/2003 | 4 | anxiety | none | Relieves anxiety, BUT highly addictive! | M | 32 | 10 years | 4/5/2002 | 5 | Sciatic nerve pain | Pleasant side effects. | I started taking flexeril for sciatica but had to stop after 6 days due to awful side effects. But valium (diazepam) is completely taking care of my symptoms. | M | 69 | 31 days 5 Mg 3X day | 12/13/2023 | 5 | BPH | Better attitude. | Works great for benign prostate hyperplasia. Much better than flomax. | M | 70 | 6 months 5 mg 3X day | 10/5/2023 | 5 | Back pain | Contented with life. | My back pain that I suffered with for years is almost completely gone. It radiated from mid-back to lower back to hips. Now it's only occasionally sore first thing in the morning but pain-free after moving around a bit. | M | 49 | 4 years 10 mg 2X day | 12/21/2022 | 5 | Migraine headaches | Better outlook on life. I'm easier to get along with. | I had suffered migraines for decades. Nothing was effective for the range of symptoms (from prodrome to aura to splitting headache.). I have been taking valium daily for almost 3 years now and have had ZERO migraines. It's a life changer. | M | 55 | 28 months 5 mg 3X day | 8/3/2022 | 5 | Anxiety, mania, exhaustion | The gold standard of anti-anxiety medication. But take a crumb, if you can. And only when needed. Nothing works better. Resets everything: From scary stomach twitching, to dizziness, to rapid heartbeats, muscle tightness and doom. One of the best drugs ever invented. Take a crumb! 2.5 mg MAX. Breathing exercises and a bit of Valium, along with moderate exercise. Total relief | M | 55 | 6 years 2.5 MG 1X AN | 11/22/2021 | 5 | Migraine & hypertension | no negative side effects | Very effective. | M | 49 | 6 years 10 mg 1X day | 9/28/2021 | 5 | hypertension | It works perfectly. | Lowers systolic by over 30 points and diastolic by over 10 points. | M | 55 | 5 years 5 3X day | 7/7/2021 |
