Guest guest Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 Just wondering if anyone has ever used diazepam (Valium) as a long term treatment or for short term relief. My GP recently suggested it. I started taking 5mg 3 times a day and within 48 hours most of the usual symptomatic problem disappeared or were severely reduced. Only trouble is I felt like I was half asleep most of the day and couldn't imagine living like that day to day. I then tried reducing to 2mg 3 times a day with reduced (though still noticeable)results. epam is a muscle relaxant which must go some way yoo explaining this effect. A big word of warning though - do not have a drink. I had a couple of glasses of wine at a party and nearly collapsed. Perhaps there are related drugs that can act more specifically without the general overall numbness that this drug produces afetr a couple of days - and the effect is cumulative. I have also had success with Temazepam for relief from the occassiional spasms that I encounter - but its a total knockout (definitely not for day time use). Im taking 3mg of Arginine a day and finding little benefit. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
