Question 1

will diazepam work if taken on a full stomach?

Accepted Answer

Yes: It will although all medications have a quicker onset and more marked effect if taken on an empty stomach. Think about the difference of drinking a glass of wine on an empty stomach versus having the same glass with a full meal- the effect of the wine (or buzz) is generally much less with food in the stomach.

Question 2

diazepam and paroxetine taken together, any effects?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Paroxetine and diazepam are two different types of medications used to treat anxiety. Diazepam is typically only used on a short-term basis, as it can be addictive and cause other side effects. Diazepam and paroxetine typically do not interact with each other.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Tell your parents : about your overdose NOW. You need to be seen at the nearest emergency room now. Have your parents or another adult drive you or call 911 for emergency services for transport. You can call the National suicide hotlines 24/7 at 1-800-suicide (1-800-784-2433) or 1-800-273 – talk (1-800-273-8255) for support.

Question 4

been on diazepam for 2 months for  severe injury and wanting to wean off! what would be the proper way to wean off if i've taken 5mg 3x a day?

Accepted Answer

Diazepam: I always recommend that this be done under medical supervision. Would consult with the prescribing provider. Take care.

Question 5

i have taken a zoplocone about half an hour ago but i'm feeling anxiety coming on can i take a diazepam?

Accepted Answer

Drug interactions: I had to do a drug interaction check using  eszopiclone instead of  zopiclone.  I  simply couldn't get any drug interactions checkers to accept "zopiclone". Both are similar and are cyclopyrrolones.  Adding this to diazepam can cause ^ dizziness, drowsiness, confusion. It you were going to take them both - I would only do so if you are going right to bed. AND make sure you don't drink alcohol.

Question 6

i've daily taken (1) 8mg capsule of  diazepam for a month, i want to know in how long will i have it completely out of my system? i'm testing for jobs

Accepted Answer

Take a while: Valium or diazepam is one of the longer acting medications of its class so you'll have that floating around your system in a detectable state for at least 7-10 days.

Question 7

does diazepam taken on day interfere with general anasthetic drugs? to make ga last longer or misjudge dose etc?

Accepted Answer

The regular use: Of diazepam or even alcohol in the past means your liver and metabolic activity are revved up and they have to adjust the dose of anesthesia  for your need and the length of surgery as you may wake up from the anesthesia sooner.

Question 8

can 25 mg benadryl (diphenhydramine) be safely taken 2 hours after taking with 1-1/4mg of diazepam.  diazepam is 1/4 of a 5mg pill.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes, that shouldn't be a problem. Look out for sedative side effects.

Question 9

i have been prescribed 4mg of diazepam to take daily for the past 4 months. my doctor has now taken me off it abruptly. is this safe?

Accepted Answer

Tapering safely: Good question! Maybe your doctor has already replaced diazepam by another medication? In any case, it is always safer to gradually taper a psychotropic medication taken on a daily basis. In regard to diazepam, you may safely decrease your daily dosage by 0.5 mg every other day until complete discontinuation. Please call back your doctor for clarification. Good luck and be safe!

Question 10

taken 10mg of diazepam 2 hours ago, due to take my zopiclone 7.5mg soon and also 2x solpadol 30/500. is it ok to take so close to taking the diazepam?

Accepted Answer

Too much sedation: You have been prescribed three sedative meds and I will advice you discuss with your doctor if you should take all three meds one after the other
Diazepan 10mgm is a tranquiliser and 10 mgm is used for sleeping/You have Zopiclone which is a sleeping pill and Solpadol contains codeine 30 mgm another one used for pain but is also sedating
