Diazepam Drug Information




Diazepam belongs to a class of drugs named benzodiazepines. Benzodiazepines affect various chemicals in the brain that regulate anxiety due to certain unbalances in the body’s metabolism.



Diazepam (Valium) is prescribed for the treatment of anxiety pathologies and for the relief of its symptoms. Valium can also be treated to sooth agitation, hallucinations caused by the abstinence syndrome, tremors, and for some muscle spasms. Diazepam is sometimes even prescribed to prevent seizures and insomnia. Your doctor will determine the best use for this medication.

Valium (Diazepam) has many other treatment possibilities than the ones mentioned here.

I will not surrender!!!

So, lately, I've had a terrible series of events filled with bad luck. My wife of twenty years cheated on me. Then, she told me that none of the kids, that I thought that were mine, were mine afterall. Later, she left with some rich guy from up north. Since, I was unemployed, at the time, I ended up as a homeless person in the downtown area. At this point, I thought that my life could not get any worst. Boy, was I wrong! I somehow ended up in jail, being falsely accused for a car theft that I did not commit. So, I did some time. And, what a time it was! I just kept on telling myself "never again." Well, after I got out, I found a low paying job, but, an honest one at that. At this point, I was so depressed that I did not want to live. I just thought that life was not worth living anymore since everything that I had known no longer existed. But, then, someone suggested that I go on treatment with Valium. Valium helped me get through the harshest moments of my life to date. Yes, thank you Valium! I would not know what to do without you.

Diazepam is just what I need!!!

It was a cold night about two years ago. I had just been fired at my job as a computer technician. I decided to head to the local pub. Upon returning to my house, late at night, I got into an argument with my lovely wife. She was angry that I had stayed in the bar for so long, in such a cold night, without telling her of my whereabouts. Of course, I did not tell her about my unemployment status, at the time, in order to avoid further quarrel. That night, I could not sleep...so, as soon as, I woke up the next day, I decided to take one Valium to suppress my sorrow. Afterwards, I just told my wife that I had gotten tired of my job and that I was getting a much better one soon. Well, I have never had another bad night sleep ever since.
