Accepted Answer

Maybe: Valium, especially in small doses can be taken in combination with many medications.  Valerian root is an herbal remedy that can help with anxiety but it's effectiveness for this is variable depending on the formulation.

The key thing is that you need to read the label on the bottle because some of these remedies will have other ingredients that may interact.

Question 2

please describe the medication: valium?

Accepted Answer

Tranquilizer: Valium (diazepam) is an older benzodiazepine tranquilizer.  It was the #1 prescribed drug (of any kind) in the us in the late 1960s but is used less now due to drug interactions and active metabolites.  It is still used for anxiety and as "pre-medication" for uncomfortable medical and minor surgical procedures.  It is habit-forming, should not be used with alcohol, and may impair driving.

Question 3

what is the drug valium prescribed for?

Accepted Answer

Several uses: valium, or diazepam, can be used for many things.  It is used to treat anxiety, as a sedative before surgery, seizures, muscle spasms, and to prevent seizures in alcohol withdrawal.

Question 4

is there only 5 mg in the roche 10 valium?

Accepted Answer

shouldn't be: All medications, whether branded or generic, sold in the United States, are required by the food and drug administration (fda) to have plus or minus twenty per cent of the stated dose to be legal.
So a medication which states 10mg can have between 8 and 12 mgs, which for some patients, may make a noticeable difference in their treatment.  But 50 % difference should not be possible.
