Valium

[Guest guest]

I took ativan before Emma, it just kinda relaxes you. It works really good for my pain I suppose thats because it probably relaxes the pfm. My pharmacist told me that ativan and valium are very similar and that they do have a tendency to be addictive. He suggested only taking half an ativan every three days.

Hello all,

I was Rx'ed Valium by Dr. Goldstein to help with my pelvic floor

dysfunction. I have never taken Valium before -- what does it feel

like? Does it make you fall asleep?

Thanks,

Emma

He said 5 mg at nightime. But he said I should probably take half that

b/c I am a small person. I should try and take it every night he

said. I haven't taken it yet.

That is an awful lot – and it is very addictive. Yahoo has

a group of over 1000 people who are trying to get off the benzo’s

(valium, ativan). I take one when I am desperate, and it really does help I

admit, but I am not going to get hooked. The yahoo group is open (I think) to everyone

so you could just drop in and read some of the posts and see what people have

to say. Some people have to break 1m tablets down into ¼’s and then at

the end mix the dust with water. This does not affect everyone like this, but

you never know if you will be the one or not. I almost got into that trap seven

years ago when my mother died, and the doctor gave ativan to sleep. It wasn’t

long before I couldn’t sleep without it. I got off of it but it took six

months. If you read about it, some say that it changes the chemistry and the

nerve endings in the brain. I don’t know if that is true or not. But I

admit it does help if you need it. Muscle relaxers, like Zanaflex work almost

as well and they are not addictive. Some of these things I learned the hard

way, so that is why I write in with posts in hopes to keep others from making

the same mistakes that I did when I was first starting out.

Thanks for the heads-up on Valium and addiction. I will certianly

keep that in mind, and use the lowest dose possible (2.5 mg) for the

shortest time that I can. I am so not into medications, but I need

to get my muscles to relax.

Thank you.

Valium is a strong sedative. And about six or eight hours after taking it, the

anxiety, etc. returns with a vengeance. I took it a few times but only once at

a time, I did not succumb to the urge to take another one when the withdrawals

set in.

Emma My name is tina and just joined the group. I am 42 years old and have had pelvic isssues for 5 years. Talking about Valium well sometimes i use valium/amitrip 5/10mg vaginal suposatories (yes they go up there) and most of the time they work. check these out if you have a wise pharmacy where ever you are and if u need more info feel free to write me Emma wrote: Hello all,I was Rx'ed Valium by Dr. Goldstein to help with my pelvic floor dysfunction.
