Would taking valium or versed right after a terror attack block memories and prevent nightmares?

No: Psychological counseling is the best option. Medications such as a Valium & versed can be addictive and not readily available without medical attention

Yes and NO: There have been isolated studies that hint at Valium-like drugs that can blunt memory of traumatic events but no large randomized studies to date.
