Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Yes: That is a reported side effect and if extreme can be a sign of allergic reaction to the drug. This is made more severe if taken in combo w/ alcohol. Definitely discuss the possibility of other Rx for anxiety - even more - consider non-drug techniques to manage anxiety. CBT, meditation, yoga, etc. Valium allergy can be very dangerous!
