A member asked:
Does taking diazepam slow your metabolism with regards to diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No, but: Diazepam and other benzodiazepines & sedatives like it do not directly affect metabolic rate. However, they can have indirect effects in some people. For example, someone who is experiencing intense, acute anxiety (as in a crisis) is likely to lose weight from appetite suppression. A sedative will alleviate the anxiety and the weight loss.
