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 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!

How mgs? Either way it should be completely fine.

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.

so i think i have anxiety but not sure or it could even be depression..

like i have bad thoughts and i mostly think about it when im away from my mom. or just anyone. it normally is about scary things like the world and all thats in it..

it goes away but comes back.
i tried changing my life around. like doing things differnt but it always comes back.

iv been having these feelings for awhile (a couple months) and i dont know what to do about it.

i seriously need help. or i dont know how much more i can take.

Chosen Answer:

I have anxiety and this is not one of my symptoms or even a classic symptom of it. Could be depression though, since you think of scary things. You probably need to seek out some help for a diagnosis and some medication. Sweets, don’t stress on this at all, lots of people think about scary things, you may be at the beginning of an anxiety disorder or depression. Talk to someone, your Mom would be the first one to talk to about this. You will be fine though!

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.

Is there any other medicine out there that can subsitute for valium?

I was wondering if there was any other medicine out there that you can take to subsitute for valium.

Chosen Answer:

Long term use of Valium is addictive. Therefore, you might want to revisit the reason you are taking it. Do you really need to take it any more? The body develops a tolerance over time and it may be that you don’t need it. you must go off of it slowly.
As far as a substitute is concerned, you must discuss with your doctor the original reasons for taking it. If it is due to anxiety your doctor might try newer and more effective medicines in the anti-depressent category.
The question of substitute really is better rephrased by saying
re-evaluate your need for it and then establish what the best medicine is available.

What’s the difference between the drug Valium & Xanax? Are they both tranquilizers? Whats the difference?

March 4, 2012 Valium

I suffer from Depression and Panic attacks, I have tryed Xanax and am wondering about the affects of Valium? I hear people who are stressed out say “I need a valium”

Chosen Answer:

They are in the same category of drug, which is the anti-anxyolitic (they are used to moderate anxiety). Valium is older and comes in doses of 2 mg., 5 mg. and 10 mg. Xanax is newer and comes in smaller doses. Xanax may be more addicting, but they both work well for treating panic attacks. The problem is, they don’t work indefinitely at the same dose (the body builds a tolerance for them), and you should avoid drinking alcohol while taking them, as this could result in a black out or in serious problems with judgment (especially around heavy machinery).

Are there any medications like valium that are available over the counter?

Is there any medication similar to VALIUM that is available over the counter????
I usually need it before I go on the plane, or experience something like Parasailing to calm myself down. Everyone mentions Kava Kava and St. John’s Wort….I think those are more anti-depressants? Correct?

Any information/medications you know o but f? Thank you.

Chosen Answer:

5HTP would be a good natural anti-depressant. But everyone telling you about Kava Kava is spot on the nose. It’s natural valium. I keep it at work with me for bad days (I’m a nurse in a juvenile detention facility), and it calms me right down. Pick up a bottle and try it before your next nerve wracking situation. By the way, parasailing? Isn’t that, like, voluntary? Why would you purposefully enter a situation you know will upset you? If you’re doing it for the adrenaline rush, then DON’T take Kava Kava. You’ll be too relaxed to enjoy the rush!

How to act as though I have severe anxiety?

February 22, 2012 Anxiety Discussion

I need to act as though I have severe anxiety. I’m at college studying drama and performing arts and it’s crucial for this new role. I’m acting the part of a troubled middle age man who suffers with anxiety and Bipolar disorder. Any tips?

Chosen Answer:

I have a anxiety disorder so if I was you I would be really happy and jolly then sudden outburst with anger at someone or something when something happens, when you are anxious you feel like you are excited about something, remember a time like this then remember the feeling 100x more powerful, it’s horrible but if your acting. You have to shake a lot, be clumsy, talk shakily, move around a lot and try to always sit down. Hope this helps you!
