But while trying to conceive what is good?

I’ve been able to relax more and downloaded a sound machine app on my iPad and it worked.

Chosen Answer:

There are a number of things you can do to eliminate anxiety naturally without using medications. Bottom line is anxiety is caused by your negative THOUGHTS (either subconscious or conscious thoughts). By mastering your thinking you can eliminate or reduce anxiety.

Below are some proven methods you can use to reduce or eliminate anxiety:

a) Meditation is proven to help reduce anxiety and is also not difficult to learn. 10 minutes a day is all that is required to help calm your mind

b) Self Hypnosis: You should buy a good book on this and learn self hypnosis

c) Repeating Positive Affirmations: The best time to do this is at night before bed or in the morning when you wake up. About 7 to 8 minutes is all you need.

d) Try to learn the root cause of your anxiety. For example I use to be scared of the dark, and learned I was accidentally locked in a dark basement as a child. As soon as I learned this my fear of the dark immediately went away.

What happens if I pop positive for Valium as a nurse but prescription is from Mexico?

I use to take Xanax for anxiety. I was in Mexico had a panic attack i went to Md he gave me Valium. Dr is legal, crossed over with med and prescription. A day later I get drug screened at work the Drug officer states it’s illegal since I didn’t get drug in USA and tested positive for Valium. What is going to happen to my nursing license and job?

Chosen Answer:

I am answering because I am a nurse and am interested in your question….however, it actually has nothing to do with travel to Mexico. It would be bet under the law and ethics section…to get better answers. I think the person that told you that is full of himself. Ask him to show you that in writing. Valium is a legal medication , not an illegal drug. There is no law or regulation against a nurse taking valium. by prescription. CALL your state board and talk to someone there about it. I have know on 3 occasions, nurses who were stealing narcotics in the hospital…the hospital dismissed them…after a loooong time, but did nothing about their licenses…the hospitals do not want the negative P.R. CALL the state board of nursing, and get a lawyer…a mean one….if the hospital persists in this attitude.

doctors can you tell me the difference between anti anxiety pills and valium?

i thought they have the same effect ,does valium just relax you or take the edge off?under what circumstances can you request valium on prescription from a doctor?thanks

Chosen Answer:

Valium (diazepam) is a benzodiazepine and as such is one of the drugs used to treat anxiety disorders. There are other classes of drugs also used to treat these disorders, as well. You can always ask, but your doctor may think another class of drug is more appropriate, or if he chooses a benzodiazepine he may think another in the class is a better choice. Asking specifically for Valium is likely to look something like a kid throwing a fit for mom to buy him a toy, considering how little you know about the treatment options, mechanisms of action, and adverse effect profiles. The doctor is, after all, the expert here. That’s why he’s the one with the prescription pad.

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 long does it take valium to clear out of your system?

I am hopeful that I will be getting a job for which I am going interview. I anticipate that a drug test will be required. I take valium (as needed). I do have a prescription, but I don’t necessarily want my potential employer to know that I take it. I also take antidepressants. Will they test for this as well?

I really feel like this is an invasion of my privacy.

Chosen Answer:

They don’t test for Valium and antidepressants. They only test for illegal drugs. The half life of Valium is 50 hrs.

Is it possible to buy valium in England without a prescription?

I get anxiety every once in a while and valium really helps, but my doctor is very strict about prescribing it (as most doctors are). Is it possible to buy it in England? I’ve noticed you can buy it online in the US but what about in England? It must be possible to buy it if you can buy illegal street drugs, surely?

Chosen Answer:

No it is a prescribed drug and you cannot get it without a script. ~~

How soon do anxiety pills start working?

I took an anxiety pill, but it wasn’t prescribed to me. I took it about 10 minutes ago, is it supposed to already be working? Or am i just imagining its helping?

Chosen Answer:

First off, you should not take an anxiety pill which is supposed to be prescribed, unprescribed. That is dangerous and can harm you if taken wrongly.

Please go see a qualified doctor or psychologist to get a prescription if he/ she sees fit.

However, generally the effects normally can be felt within a 2 hours to a week, it definately is not instant. And due to the nature of the medicine, the effects will not be obvious, although it will help gradually.

You might want to try some relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, or consult your parents or trusted friends.

Find out as much information as possible from the internet or you can visit this site which helped me a lot. http://www.crushanxiety.com

Is it legal to fire a person over a positive valium blood test?

My father was fired because he tested positive for valium on a blood test. He was prescribed this medicine by a doctor, and valium (diazepam) is legal in the United States. Is this legal?

Chosen Answer:

I think if he showed them proof of a prescription then maybe it is not legal unless he was driving heavy equipment and got in a wreck or near wreck at work. You are not supposed to drive or operate heavy equipment when taking nerve pills.
