How likely is an allergic reaction to Valium?
So the dentist gave me four Valium to help with the anxiety before a root canal, but I am a medicine phobe and hate taking anything for any reason really.
So my question is how likely is it for someone to have an allergic reaction to diazepam / Valium? I know that Valium has been around for a really long time and people take it in excess of 30 years with no physical side effects aside from addiction and dependence. I’m still concerned though. Thanks!
Chosen Answer:
Slim to none. Your dentist had to go to school as long as your physician did. They would know if you had any odd condition that would predispose you to any problem. As you said its been around long enough that they know enough about it to avoid that prob. Sounds like you have some anxiety issues and that might explain why they wrote the script for 4 . just take it and relax. You cant live your life in fear.

On a very low dose, there are no bad side effects unless you are allergic to the drug itself. It sounds to me that you are phobic about drugs and are already setting yourself up for an imaginary side effect.

The honest truth about this medication is that it is EXTREMELY addictive and in my personal opinion should never be given out to anyone. Psychiatry is a dangerous pseudo-science and should stop being practiced in my opinion. For all of you who give me a thumbs down, why don’t you go to a psychiatrist and let them “treat” you. Then tell me how you feel.
