Does anyone take valium, and what are the side effects?

I’ve been prescribed valium – 3 times a day. I am a rather high-strung person, but I just wonder if it’ll work for me? Haven’t picked up script yet.

Chosen Answer:

Valium also known as (Diazepam Rectal)

Diazepam rectal gel is used in emergency situations to stop cluster seizures (episodes of increased seizure activity) in people who are taking other medications to treat epilepsy (seizures). Diazepam is in a class of medications called benzodiazepines. It works by calming abnormal overactivity in the brain.

Diazepam rectal gel may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:

*

drowsiness
*

dizziness
*

headache
*

pain
*

stomach pain
*

nervousness
*

flushing
*

diarrhea
*

unsteadiness
*

abnormal ‘high’ mood
*

lack of coordination
*

runny nose
*

problems falling asleep or staying asleep

Some side effects can be serious. If you experience any of the following symptoms, call your doctor immediately:

*

rash
*

trouble breathing
*

overexcitement
*

hallucinating (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist)
*

rage

Diazepam rectal gel may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
