Everything You Know About Diazepam (Valium)

Precautions

It's time to get your safety gear on! Men, you already know what's coming. This isn't a long-term med. You've only got a short time with it! It's because there's a huge, huge physical dependence that comes with it. Yes, even if you're not prone to addiction! It's because of the effects on your brain. Your solution is clear: you've only got a short time with this med. While you're taking it, men, it's clear. You can't drink alcohol! That'll only make your breathing side effect more likely!

You remember how this med gives your brain more GABA. Yes, you do! Men, your brain won't make as much of it on its own because of this! That's why you've got to talk to your doc about stopping this med slowly. You can't do it all at once! Go slow, go very, very slow. Your doc will stop the withdrawal problems that way!
