It has the same chemical components, so I am just wondering if humans could take it.
And no, I don’t have dog Valium and am not planning on taking dog Valium, I am just curious. I have Klonopin and it works just fine.
And when I say could take it I mean could take it safely
humans take valium all the time. the dosing is different for humans and animals.

I am having a lot of dental work done and really don’t like Xanax and Valium has no effect on me. What can I take?
Klonopin is generally stronger than Valium, but weaker than xanax. They are similar in the sense that they are all benzodiazapines.

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

I just came across some old medicines when cleaning out my medicine cabinet and came across some valium that expired in December of 2003. Are these safe to take? I am just curious, there’s only 4 left. Thanks!
I wasn’t planning on taking them, I was just curious. When I took them 8 years ago they didn’t do anything lol I’ve always heard that some drugs lose potency, while other drugs are toxic. Just wondering which type these are. Thanks for the comments.
If they’ve been stored properly, they should be fine. (I can’t guarantee they will be, but I don’t see anything on the ingredient list that should cause problems with aging). Proper storage means in a cool, dark, dry place. If they’ve been exposed to heat and humidity for a long time, they’re probably useless. If stored properly, only difference should be (probably) minor loss of potency. The diazepam molecule is pretty stable.

What anxiety medication do you take and how did you first know you needed medication?
I take Zoloft for my anxiety. I know it is an antidepressant, but it also works as an anitanxiety medicine.
I first discovered that I needed to take medication when I was in seventh grade and I realized that I had a bunch of irrational fears about dying. I didn’t tell my parents, and my anxieties took over my life. My grades started dropping and I quickly became depressed. Then, the next year in eighth grade, it was even worse. I almost failed eighth grade because I couldn’t concentrate. Still, I didn’t tell my parents. My parents yelled at me and I felt even worse about myself. My self esteem got even lower, and I was determined to fight my anxiety and pass high school. In night grade, I tried my hardest to push away my anxieties, and I found that I thought that I could fight them by doing certain rituals which I would perform when I felt anxious, like pulling my hair, squeezing my skin, among other things to get my mind off of it. I managed to pass 9th grade with C’s, but I wanted to do better than that. Then, in 10th grade everything came crashing down when I had an awful biology teacher who triggered my anxiety and I basically broke down. I would cry every night, I would have about three to four anxiety attacks a day, and I wouldn’t do my homework at all. I felt like I was in a funk that I coudln’t get out of. Then, on the last day of the second marking period, I faced my fears and went to my guidance counselor about my anxiety. She called my parents and my parents got me help. After about three weeks on Zoloft, I felt so much better. Now, my anxiety only comes up everyone once in a while, and I know who I can talk to about it.
If you are having any problems with anxiety, catch it before it gets worse. My anxiety took over my life and it got way out of hand. I got help though, and you can too. Talk to someone close to you and they will get you help, if you need it.
I hope this helps!

I have a cat on 2mg valium to keep him from peeing elsewhere from the litter box. Can anyone tell me the difference between 2mg valium and 1mg ativan? Are they similar at all? Has ativan ever been prescribed for this ‘cat peeing’ problem?
BTW, no, I did not take the valium (rolling my eyes here…) I know what ativan is all about; just wondering exactly what my cat is getting. Valium was prescribed by the vet; I’ve had to cut it in 1/2 cuz 2mg was making the poor little guy wobble all over. Wondering if ativan would have been a better choice. Apparently not!
Thanx for your answers; no I would not give my cat prescription drugs. As I said, just wondering what the difference between the two is, as I know nothing about valium except that it’s seriously addictive.
They are different drugs!!!!!!!!!! Do not give your cat a prescription medication without the vet giving the OK!!!!!
they are in the same family I think. Valium being Diazepam, and Ativan being Lorazepam. But there must be a difference. I am not sure if Ativan has ever been prescribed for a cat and a peeing problem.
You could ask the vet.

I exercise everyday and suffer from anxiety. I take medicine to cope with anxiety and it usually works for me. I haven’t been to the gym since friday and saturday my anxiety came back (my period also came on saturday so the anxiety might have to do with my monthly coming on and it went off today). I always hear that exercising is good for anxiety. I noticed that too, but it only works for the moment then I’m back to experiencing anxiety like an hour later.
Exercising releases endorphins, allowing you to feel better. Yes, it wares off, but if you consistently exercise on a daily basis, you’re happiness will improve.

I am about to go to my doctor and ask her to prescribe me some anxiety medication. I have been dealing with anxiety for so long that I can’t take it any more. I wanted to know which anxiety medication works the fastest. I don’t want to wait months for the medication to kick in.
MEDITATION and not medication is the answer;
Combine good meditative practices with the medication that your doctor has prescribed. The response would be faster.
Also, continue with your meditative practice without interruption life-long, just as you would not forget to breathe!
