Question 10

can people be allergic to valium?

Accepted Answer

Not common: I would wonder if the allergy is to the inactive ingredient in the tablet of diazepam as opposed to an allergy to diazepam itself because it is an uncommon allergy although i suppose it is possible.  A more common consideration would be an adverse behavioral change related to the administration of diazepam including severe disinhibition or aggression.  Stay safe!
