Diazepam is a benzodiazepine derivative drug. Chlordiazepoxide was the predecessor to the improved version, Valium. Improved meant stronger, 2 ½ times stronger. It is commonly used to treat anxiety, seizures, restless legs syndrome, insomnia muscle spasms, alcohol withdrawal, benzodiazepine withdrawal, and Meniere’s disease. It can be used as a premedication for inducing sedation or amnesia before certain medical procedures such as an endoscopy. Valium has been one of the most frequently prescribed medications in the world over the past forty years. It was the incredible popularity of Valium that helped Roche to become a pharmaceutical giant. From 1969 to 1982, Diazepam was the top selling drug in the U.S. with peak sales of 2.3 billion tablets in 1978.
Diazepam is available in over 500 brands throughout the world. For oral use it comes in tablets, time release capsules and liquid form. It also comes in a solution for IV or muscular injection.
Its common side effects can include drowsiness, suppression of REM sleep, impaired motor function, impaired coordination, impaired balance, dizziness with nausea, depression, impaired learning, cognitive deficits, and reflex tachycardia. Less common inconsistent side effects can include nervousness, insomnia muscle cramps, irritability, and in some cases, rage and violence. In some people, self-harming behaviors are possible and in extreme cases, the drug may provoke suicidal tendencies. Side effects are worsened by drinking alcohol because both act as central nervous system depressants.
Anyone consuming too much diazepam will usually display one of more of the following symptoms for about 4 hours following a suspected overdose: drowsiness; mental confusion; abnormally low blood pressure; impaired motor function which could include impaired reflexes and coordination , balance and dizziness; coma. Diazepam is a drug that can be psychologically addictive. There should be a gradual tapering off the drug. Withdrawals can be life threatening especially when excessive doses have been taken for a long period of time. If you or someone you know is caught up in the hell of diazepam, A Better Tomorrow is only a phone call away.
