Question 1

will entonox be enough to calm me and relieve pain for sigmoidoscopy? extreme anxiety. also told to take valium before i go although seem to be immune

Accepted Answer

Entonox: Nitrous oxide(entonox) should be plenty to relax you for a procedure.  If you're tolerant to valium or similar medications you may require higher dosage than others who aren't used to benzodiazepines, alcohol, etc.

Question 2

will 2.5mg valium twice a day getvrid of anxiety throughout the day eventually, or just provide couple hours relief and wear off till next dose?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly . . . : Valium and similar meds are not meant to get rid of all anxiety.  They're meant to take the edge off disabling symptoms -- while the person deals with the actual sources of anxiety, in psychotherapy.  Your mind and psychology affect your biology, and vice versa.  Relying on valium alone is like painting the outside of a house, but not fixing the leak inside.  Do the work, & your life will improve.

Question 3

could librium relive anxiety to any extent like valium?

Accepted Answer

Librium: Same as Valium but shorter duration of action.

Question 4

what is best benzodiazepine to relief severe debilitating anxiety ?  tried every possible therapy available, currently on valium. 5mg, any better opt?

Accepted Answer

The best drug: is the one that works for you. Discuss this with the prescribing doctor and try counseling.

Question 5

what other than benzos work in the same way to relax muscles. 5mg valium relieves most of chronic pain for 1/2 days & no side effects. robaxin (methocarbamol) horrid.

Accepted Answer

Cyclobenzaprine: is a muscle relaxant. It works by blocking nerve impulses and pain  that are sent to your brain. Valium, an anxiolytic, is not classified as a skeletal muscle relaxant but is often used in the management of acute muscle pain for short period of time only. Benzodiazepines are very addictive. See your PCP for more information and options.

Question 6

is it appropriate to take valium for pain relief when paracetamol, ibuprofen, codeine giving little relief? or is of little use for this purpose?

Accepted Answer

NO Valium: This is a sedative tranquilizer and muscle relaxant. Try stopping the codeine and ibuprofen. Take Aleve: 2 tab initially, then 1 tab every 6-8h. Valium has not place in therapy unless muscular spasm is involved.

Question 7

is it safe to take 5mg oxycodone with 25 mg valium for post op sleep and pain relief?  i've taken that much valium for a colonoscopy. not with opioids

Accepted Answer

Good way to die: NO&gt; Incidence of sudden death mixing oxycodone and Valium. Call the funeral palor first.

Question 8

back so painful day4 after bend to pick up toy. constant muscle cramp in the r muscles along my lower spine & through to abdomen. sharp local pain when move. when standing significantly curves to the left. taking valium, panadineforte, nurofen- no relief

Accepted Answer

Acupuncture/streches: Sounds like a muscle spasms. It's getting worse so you need to try more aggressive management. Either acupuncture or deep tissue massage. The muscle relaxers and pain meds or steroids won't do much because muscle tissue is rarely touched by those.

Question 9

is it safe to take evening primrose oil/borage oil (star flower oil capsules) daily for joint relief, helps my mood, skin & immensely helps with breast tenderness/pms/cramps. with occasional 5mg valium prescribed by my gp when needed for anxiety??

Accepted Answer

Primrose oil: I recommend that never take snake oil like primrose oil. There has been no good research and they can add anything they want (and do) : arsenic, mercury, Viagra, steroids to mention a few.

Question 10

can i take valium?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends what you take it for, at what dosage and for how long. It depends on your health overall and if you are taking any other meds as drug interaction may happen. It should not be taken for a long period of time as it can cause dependance.
