How can you get Valium out of your urine for a drug test in two weeks?

Chronic users will have benzos, which Valium is, in there urine for up to 30 days. If you occasionally use it 2 weeks should be more than enough time.


How long will restless behavior be increased after taking Valium?

Generally after taking Valium restless behavior does not occur. In fact, restless behavior should terminate. I think you are referring to the withdrawal syndrome and the restlessness because restlessness does not occur on Valium unless you have the paradoxical effect. Numerous factors coming to play when discussing The benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome. It depends on how long you been taking the benzodiazepines, what types of benzodiazepines you were taken prior to Valium, just to name a few. If you are only using Valium for a few weeks to a month then the restlessness should not be that big of a deal it should be just the rebound effect which will go away after a week or two maybe. If you open using the benzodiazepines, such as Valium or Xanax, for extended periods of time then you may be in trouble. Benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome is extremely unpleasant and prolong if you have abruptly withdrawn. Valium is the IDEAL drug for tapering off the benzodiazepine because you can only replace Benzodiazepines with a benzodiazepine. Valium has a long elimination get its metabolites that specifically Nordiazepam. If this is the case and I strongly advise you search "The Ashton Manual" and take it to your doctor and express your concerns regarding benzodiazepine withdrawal.


Will Valium metabolites show up in a person's system after 3-5 10mg doses if last dose was of 10mg was 3 weeks past and first dose was 7 weeks past?

No. the half life of Valium is 3-5 days at most.


How long will Valium stay in your sytem if only taken for 3 days 20mg a day?

8 weeks


How long does Valium show up in your urine?

It depends how much you take & how long you've been taking it. Valium has the longest half life out of all the other benzodiapines. It can stay anywhere from 5 days to 2 weeks.


How do you stop benzozodiazepines?

Very gradually. If benzodiazepine medication is stopped abruptly, there is always the risk that a seizure may occur. It is recommended that tapering occur over a period of weeks (or even months, if the dosage is high, to begin with). Consult your physician for an individualized tapering program in your particular case (or detox in a medical detox program).


Does diazepam show up as an opiate in urine screening?

No. It shows up as a benzo. Valium can be detected in a ua weeks after taking the drug.


I don't see my doc for another 2 weeks so I'm tapering off Lexapro on my own to save money is this a smart thing to do?

No. Were you serious when you posted this is a better question.


How long does it take for restoril to get out of your system?

Physicians recommend to gradually use less so as to avoid an abrupt withdrawal and some very unpleasant symptoms this may cause. They say that the best way is to proceed by tapering off over time. This is done by taking progressively less Restoril (temazepam) while substituting an equivalent dose of another benzodiazepine such as diazepam (Valium) until, after a few weeks or months, Restoril can be discontinued altogether. This approach worked for 100% of patients treated by C Heather Ashton DM, FRCP, an MD from Oxford. (For a detailed description of her approach and examples of withdrawal schedules, see: http://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/index.htm.) It should be noted, however, that in many countries it will be necessary to obtain a physician's help in tapering off from Restoril, or any other benzodiazepine, given that these are often controlled substances and that prescriptions will be required for Restoril as well as the Valium that will progressively be substituted for it. And, at the end, it will be necessary to taper off from Valium itself, but that is much easier to do along a schedule that is also described in Dr. Ashton's publications.


Does getting hurt?

Hell yes it hurts... Just because it doesn't create any trauma, doesn't mean it don't hurt..Some say it is more painful than the initial piercing.....No matter how tempting don't go over two sizes per tapering, and wait at least two weeks until tapering again
