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.

What is the best anxiety medication for teens?

My brother is 14 and has been diagnosed with anxiety disorder. He was prescribed Zoloft about a month ago and it has not made any changes in him at all except for increased appetite. His anxiety has gotten so bad he can’t even go to school or to places with a lot of people. Going back to the doctor tomorrow but would appreciate an opinion from someone who has had a similar experience. I also have anxiety and take Klonopin (benzos) which work great for me but don’t think they prescribe them to teens. Thanks

Chosen Answer:

Send your brother to a therapeutic boarding school. They specialize in treating troubled teens from all walks of life. The private boarding school is highly effective, so much so that many of the students come by word of mouth. They can help any troubled teen get back on the right track. Good luck.

How often can you take valium?

So I am getting a dental procedure done tomorrow and my doctor prescribed me two valium pills, one to take an hour before bed and the other to take an hour before the procedure. I was caught with some school work all night and took the one before bed just a few minutes ago at 1am. The procedure is at 7:30, so I will need to take the other one at 6:30am. That is only five and a half hours from now, so I am wondering if this is safe and how long it takes valium to wear off? Thanks for any help!

can i bring prescribed birth control and valium on my emirates flight from US to johannesburg, via dubai?

in reading online, i am very nervous about bringing doctor-prescribed prescriptions for birth control (mini-pill) and also valium (for flying anxiety, to avoid panic attacks). I am also unable to go without birth control, and have a very hard time flying without valium.

both prescriptions have clearly labelled information from the pharmacy that indicates that it they are a prescription.

will i have any trouble with security in dubai?

Chosen Answer:

Birth control pills are ni issue here,but valium is banned and seen as a forbidden drug.
You just have to have an official doctor prescription and let it verify by the UAE embassy in your country. They also can advise you to take it with you or not. Don’t take it for granted. The punishment here carrying valium is severe!!

What are the effects of the drug Valium?

I was recently prescribed the drug Valium from my Doctor. I was am being prescribed Valium for bouts with anxiety and nervousness. I was just wondering if anyone had any information on this particular drug including side effects and normal effects. Also does this drug has the potential for recreational use or abuse?

Chosen Answer:

My aunt is prescribed that for anxiety and she gave me one cuz I saw her acting all floaty and I wanted to have in, it kicks in like 30 mins after you take it, you start to feel all drunk and floaty, with a not-give-a-fcuk attitude..i was smoking weed walking around my house naked just cuz i just didn’t give a fcuk lol then all of sudden the drowsiness overcomes you and you feel heavy, wake up the next day tired as hell, at least I did, but if you do have an anxiety problem, it will probably just help it and take the edge off. I know a lot of people who take it for fun though, I can’t, I get too ballsy lol

Anxiety ??

How can I get rid of this anxiety??? I am trying to do work but I can’t focus. I have this horrible feeling that something bad is going to happen or is happening or that i need to do something. It is soo distracting. ANy help??

Chosen Answer:

I have this feeling all the time.. I try not to let it consume me.. So I just try to pay attention to what I’m doing at the moment. Sometimes it’s like you’re stuck in it.. You can’t get your mind of it.. But seriously try to focus on other tasks at hand.. I had seen a doctor but they made me more annoyed and medicines just made me more irritable.

anxiety???

I have a problem with nervousness especially when visiting a doctor, my heart starts pounding very hard and my palms start sweating heavily and I usually have the urge of running out on my appointment. It gets worse when they monitor my blood pressure it usually reads dangerously high due to my nervous attacks. I have similar symptoms when I have to public speak or be interviewed for a job. Are these signs of anxiety? Does anybody have similar symptoms I have?

Chosen Answer:

you should see a counselor. they are available at church, through some jobs, schools, etc…this anxiety came from somewhere. when you sit down and talk with a counselor, they will help you get to the root of how this anxiety began and if you are willing to help yourself, the anxiety will be eliminated or totally diminished…it depends on how often you go and the amount of confidence you have in yourself. this can change, don’t fret. you have already made the first step by admitting that this is a problem for you. good luck!

valium????????????????

will it mess me up if i take alot?

Chosen Answer:

My best friend took it for help with her troubles. Now her biggest trouble is to get off it. She is almost addicted to it. Since she can’t sleep without it, she thinks its best to keep taking it.

Valium (diazepam) is sedative and addictive. Doctors do need to prescribe it in certain cases. Perhaps you need it. But don’t take it without your doctor’s advice, who will tell how much to take, at what times to take and when to stop.

Don’t take it if there is no such advice or an advice against it.

How soon after taking Valium can I drink alcohol?

I’ve been prescribed 2mg of Valium for a fear of flying. My flight is at 5am and I’m going to take either 1 or 2 tabs of Valium. Could I perhaps drink that night? Or maybe the day after? Bearing in mind this’ll be my first and only (apart from the return flight) time taking it.

Thanks

Call your doctor’s office and ask. That’s what you pay him for.
