A member asked:
How can i get a diazepam prescrip bcoz i dont like lorazepam effect on me, it drains my energy n dulls me.. i have bad anxiety n seizure with spasms..

Depressant: Valium is an effective medication for short term anxiety relief and an effective rescue medication for seizures, but was not designed to be used long term for either medical condition. Which antidepressants have you used that have worsened your seizure condition ? Medications like Lamictal, Depakote, Topamax, and Keppra (levetiracetam) are indicated for seizure disorders but are also used for mood disorders.
