How can i get my Dr. To switch me from klonopin to Valium?
Im currently prescribed klonopin and i was wondering how i can get my doc to switch me to valium. I know valium has more sedating effects so im thinking that telling him i need something more relaxing and calming should do the trick. Thoughts?
Chosen Answer:
First of all, I can tell you with all certainty that your Dr. will not “switch” you to valium. Not sure how long you have been on the Klonopin. No doctor would risk losing his/her license for prescribing Valium under the circumstances that you have described.

How can a person suffering from anxiety make and go to a therapy appointment?
I feel like the anxiety over calling and going is so overwhelming. I want help but at the same time I can’t deal with the anxiety associated with going. I feel like I might be able to hide it at first but I don’t want to break down or drive there and then sit in the parking lot frozen by anxiety.
And mind over matter doesn’t help…as I’m sure those of you dealing with anxiety know. I’ve tried to feel different, I just can’t seem to.
Chosen Answer:
Call your local hospital outpatient clinic and state your issues and say you would like to see someone. This would be a lot easier than picking one out of the phone book, or maybe you already have one in mind. Your anxiety can be helped greatly by therapy and medication and you need to comfort yourself with these thoughts. When you get in there and start talking about whats bothering you, you will start to feel a little less anxiety. Is there some major problem in your life right now, like death of a loved one, or something else traumatic that happened to you? Your probably like me and have a genetic predisposition to having anxiety but there is most likely something in your life making it worse, think about what that is and write about, cry about it, think about and start dealing with it. Plus stay far away from any stimulants, like coffee, tea, soda with caffeine.

Why is anxiety and depression an epidemic compared to 40 years ago?
Why do you think depression, anxiety and mental health problems have grown to be an epidemic? What do you think would help slow the progression of mental health problems? Do you think mental health problems are genitic, situational, environmental, or is it due to a chemical imbalance? When a person becomes depressed; do you think it is because our brain stops producing certain chemicals or does our brain produce a chemical that aggravates depression/anxiety? Why is it when we feel anxious, our bodies react in strange ways such as pounding heart, dizzyness, can’t breath, and intestinal problems?
Chosen Answer:
Why do you think depression, anxiety and mental health problems have grown to be an epidemic? What do you think would help slow the progression of mental health problems? I think we just talk about them more than we used to. However, there are some social changes that may lead to anxiety; family structure isn’t what it used to be, people feel more isolated, etc. Maybe having a stronger sense of family and being part of a group of people who care about you, people you can talk comfortably with about anything.
Do you think mental health problems are genitic, situational, environmental, or is it due to a chemical imbalance? It can be any of those; it’s generally considered a “chemical imbalance”, but that could be triggered by genetic, situational factors, physical disease or head injury, or any combination of these.
When a person becomes depressed; do you think it is because our brain stops producing certain chemicals or does our brain produce a chemical that aggravates depression/anxiety? At least some of the time, yes. More often the brain still produces them, but they break down too quickly before they do what they are supposed to do. No one is absolutely sure why that happens in some people and not others.
Why is it when we feel anxious, our bodies react in strange ways such as pounding heart, dizzyness, can’t breath, and intestinal problems? The autonomic nervous system controls mood, anxiety, digestion, sex, etc. I think it’s a kind of imbalance in the autonomic nervous system. It might have been there to help our prehistoric ancestors get away from an enemy or something but maybe the purpose of this isn’t as practical in modern times. Kind of left over instincts for survival that are no longer applicable. (Just an idea.)

What does Valium do and how does it make you feel?
I have to have oral surgery in mid April and they called in Valium for me to take an hour before the procedure. I heard it makes you really sleepy and will relax you. Has anyone taken it before that can tell me more about how it makes you feel?
Thanks!
Chosen Answer:
hanna valium is in a class of drugs called benzodiazapines, (check spelling oops) i was taught in pre med pharmachology it has very good muscle relaxation properties and takes away anxieties like from going to the dentist. some people have told me when i worked in the emergency room that it was a great feeling for them but i never liked it. but i am weird that a way. u will probably get a long fine with it and sleep like u never sleep before.

How to ease the separation anxiety of a mother dog from her puppies?
I have a chihuahua who had 3 puppies a few months back. Now that they are weened, I’ll be giving them to various family members. I’m worried that she’ll experience a lot of anxiety over this. Are there any ways to ease this? Will she get over having her puppies taken away from her?
Chosen Answer:
Yep, after having many litters myself I can tell you that the best thing that you can do is to leave a few small stuffed toys around her.
She will more than likely start carrying them around and nesting them as she would her pups.
This will only go on for a short while and she will get over it.
Good Luck and God Bless
