| 5 | OCD and mild depression | n/a | Valium has really helped me out. When I took it with Risperedon, I was able to fall asleep really easily and it was amazing. I felt incredibly relaxed. I only take it during the school year, stopped taking it over the summer and experienced no ill effects! | F | 14 | 1 years | 7/23/2009 | 1 | PD, GAD, OCD | None in the beginning but extreme inner tension in upper torso....mainly chest, upper stomach, and back areas with lots of heart palps. | I experienced no side effects in the beginning. I took 5 mgs daily for approx. 2 years until the drug pooped out on me. This is the third benzo to quit on me leaving my fragile CNS in a train wreck. Benzos are great meds for very short term use. If the human brain didn't develop a tolerance for them, they would be the ideal drug for panic and GAD. Problem is you build up a tolerance and eventually the drug quits working as has been my case. If you take benzos long-term in high doses and they poop out on you, may god have mercy on your soul. The physical and mental pain is indescribable. Much, much worse than heroin to come off (detox) after long-term use. Avoid if you can and take only for very brief periods if you must. | M | 47 | 2 years | 3/10/2009 | 1 | Anxiety, Depression, OCD | Stupor, Fatigue, Slurred Speech | Tried from 5 MG to 20 MG. It was similar to being drunk insofar as stupor and slurred speech, but there was no euphoria. No change in my depression or anxiety. | M | 22 | 1 months | 4/23/2007 | 5 | OCD - Trich (Hair Pulling) | Fatigue | This is the only medicine that has completely cured my trichotillomania, that is, my hair pulling. I take it at night which greatly minimizes the fatigue from Valium, while still working as well. Since I was 14, I've pulled or cut or picked my split ends, sometimes resulting in bald patches, because of my obsessive compulsive disorder. I stumbled across valium after trying zoloft, prozac, wellbutrin, and several other drugs. I was prescribed valium for surgery and has a very pleasant side effect - a complete cureall for my OCD! Do you know what a good feeling it is to be able to grow out your hair again? I am very pleased this worked for me but I don't know why because they do not traditionally prescribe this drug for trich. NOTHING else worked at all. I do not take illegal drugs or smoke, by the way. The last time I've gone this long without pulling my hair was five years ago. I have never been so happy...in five years. :-) | F | 23 | 2 weeks | 8/19/2005 | 5 | Generalized Anxiety & OCD | I don't know if I have had any side effects yet, I just started. | It makes me feel less anixious but I am only on 5 mg. It's not much but it has helped a little. I have heard great things about it from people who truly need it. | F | 26 | | 12/12/2004 |
VALIUM (DIAZEPAM): Diazepam is used to treat anxiety, alcohol withdrawal, and seizures. It is also used to relieve muscle spasms and to provide sedation before medical procedures. This medication works by calming the brain and nerves. Diazepam belongs to a class of drugs known as benzodiazepines. (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
