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!

Chosen Answer:
It is NOT anxiety, I would say it is depression, even at your age. You described exactly what i went through when I was diagnosed with depression. Please have your parents take you to see your Ped. Good Luck

Do you think regular exercise can reduce anxiety significantly?
I have not been diagnosed with anxiety but I have realised I am getting anxiety. The anxiety that I have is not that bad at all. I am quite anxious in certain situations but I can handle it. I know that a person should take up regular exercise anyway for their well-being. But, I have read that somewhere that exercise (60 minute sessions a couple of times a week), could reduce anxiety and maybe even eliminate anxiety.
What are your thoughts on this?
Chosen Answer:
Of course exercise is the very best thing for anxiety. It get you out into the open and getting your blood pumping, exercise also releases serotonin which makes you feel better

I need Valium for a bad back that keeps me awake at night and causes stress?
I injured my back a few months ago the doctor has prescribed me lots of different pain killers and sleeping tablets. But the only ones I found effective for getting to sleep and relieving my back were Valium. But my doctor only prescribed them for a week, And will not prescribe more due to their addictiveness. Please someone tell me a legitimate web site that will send me real valium.
Chosen Answer:
Your doctor know much more about Valium than you can imagine. Taking it for pain and sleep for more than a week is a very bad idea. You have absolutely no clue how terribly addictive Valium is, or how bad the withdrawals can be.
Follow your doctors advice and avoid the valium. Work with him to find other medications that work. Taking benzos or z-drugs (ambien) for sleep for more than a week is an extremely bad idea.
And to answer your question, there are no legitimate web sites that sell real valium. It is a controlled substance, and you can only get a prescription from your doctor.

What medication should I take instead of Xanax or Valium?
Xanax just puts me to sleep and Valium is addictive. I’m always on edge and go through periods of depression and I tend to get angry at work. What can I take that will allow me to function at work and calm my nerves at the same time?
Chosen Answer:
My new dr made me give up years of taking klonopin- it’s just like xanax or valium.
I had a major hard time getting off it.
BUT
He put me on Lexapro and wowwwwwww… I never knew how good life could be!
It’s an anti depressant also approved for Anxiety.
Amazing stuff.
Ask your dr. Don’t take that addictive stuff.
one pill at night does it for me and even helps me sleep.

What causes an anxiety disorder to develop, and how can I control it without the use of prescription drugs?
I’ve had an anxiety disorder for as long as I can remember. But it is gradually getting worse, to the point where the simplest things will cause me to have a panic attack. It’s taking over my life. Every therapist I’ve ever tried seeing has always just given me prescription after prescription. I want to know if any of you have this problem- if so, how do you deal with it? How do you calm yourself down? How do you cope with it?
Chosen Answer:
Ive had an anxiety disorder for a while as well, and I deal with it without prescription drugs.
Basically, to deal with my panic attacks and general anxiety I will do one of 3 things.
1. If possible, I will take some time to sit alone and meditate, it really helps to clear your mind. I cannot suggest this technique more – it takes a while to get to the point where you can meditate easily, but it works better than any medication I’ve ever taken.
2. Write/Talk out my fears at that time. I will write down or say out loud what is causing my anxiety, and the more I read or say them, the stupider they seem.
3. Talk to someone about it. In the past I used to talk to my therapist about my issues, and it did really help, but now that I don’t have health insurance, I talk to my girlfriend about it, and it really helps me out.
I hope these techniques can help you, they really help me.
I really dislike prescriptions and medications in general, I believe they cause more problems than they fix.

How effective is 5mg of Valium to relax a needle-phobe before getting an IV?
I have to get an IV to remove my wisdom teeth and am being prescribed 5mg valium to help with anxiety. How much will this relax me or can I still kick and scream when they try and stick the needle in me?
Chosen Answer:
i’m sure you’ll do just fine. dont kick or scream at them, as this is a sure way to hurt yourself and others. try to think of something else and look away when they do it. it’s really not that bad, really. and you’ll want that iv….i promise. distraction is a powerful tool. just ask one of the nurses to really distract you by talking and concentrate on breathing and don’t look.
but valium won’t sedate you completely, if that’s what your asking. it will make you feel calm and sleepy, thus making you lees willing to put up a fight.

How do I get rid of anxiety towards a certain person?
We met online, we met in person, something happened and now I have anxiety. How do I get rid of the anxiety? I still want to get back with my family.
Chosen Answer:
Negative emotions (like sadness, stress, anger, etc.) causes your Serotonin production to be low; when your Serotonin level is low, you are more prone to getting Anxiety, Panic Attacks, Depression, etc.
Medication like Antidepressants (SSRI – Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitor) helps to boost Serotonin level.
But there are natural ways to do it without medication. There’s this strange herb called “St John’s Wort” – it is said to be more effective than Prozac. No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that “learned behavior” in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!
Ok, to use Distraction: Firstly, try to….
