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 Benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome is extremely unpleasant and prolong if you have abruptly withdrawn.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.

How long does Ativan last?

Ativan has a half life of 12-16 hours which means that almost all of it is removed from the bloodstream in a couple of days. Ativan is converted into inactive metabolites. In case of a patient with renal failure the inactive metabolites may accumulate but in most cases they won't interfere with the drug's action.

Can Ativan be used for muscle spasms or tightness?

it's more of a depressant than a muscle relaxer

Answer #2: Ativan CAN be used as a muscle relaxant, but it would be very uncommon for a doctor to prescribe it specifically for this as there are better options in the "muscle relaxant" category that have much less addictive potential (Flexeril, Zanaflex, Robaxin, Skelaxin, Soma, etc.).

That being said, Ativan is one of the benzodiazepines that DOES possess all of the intrinsic properties of benzos: anxiolytic, anticonvulsant, sedative-hypnotic, amnesic, and yes-- muscle relaxant. A sixth intrinsic property primarily attributed to Ativan that has recently been coined among the benzos is it's effectiveness as an "antiemetic"-- it decreases nausea. Only Ativan and Versed can lay claim to all six properties.

Benzos out of system?

It takes Benzos 30 days to get out of your system

How many 250 mg Valerian root capsules would equal one 10 mg Valium?

I imagine several large boxes. Sorry you can't convince a heavy benzodiazepine addict that Valerian does much, for me it does very little in comparision. It by far does not equal the pharmaceutical rival. Valium actually does relieve anxiety and give the cloak of invicibility and you can count on it, however with Valerian its a wish and a prayer with will power. Its a bit like Coca-Cola playing the valium, and a foul 10p bottle of smart price cola being the Valerian. Who wants to live in a world without classic Coke! I suffer anxiety daily, and have been to every therapist, tried every medication and Rivotril (Clonazepam) has proved the most effective relief. It's the only benzo i've tried that doesn't make you feel stupid and take risks, and I believe (correct me if im wrong) has a lower toxicity to other benzos esp diazepam.

Can you mix seraquel with Xanax?

Yes. But ONLY in moderate doses of each.

Seroquel is extremely sedating, and works well as a sleeping medicine. Xanax is also sedating, though usually not so much. You must be mindful of excess sedation when combining these two substances. This means take a lower dose of both medicines than you normally would. It is not uncommon for people with Bipolar Disorder to take both medicines at night to treat both insomnia and anxiety. If you have been taking Xanax, take a small dose (25mg) of Seroquel at first without increasing your Xanax dose. Then, the next night, take 50mg, then 100mg, etc., if needed.

If you have been taking Xanax for a long time, do not stop it suddenly, because it causes withdrawal symptoms for most people. Most notably, 4mg of Xanax per day or more than 4mg/day stopped suddenly, will produce seizures - but this is only if you have been taking it for more than a few weeks consistently every day.

Can you take adipex and Xanax together?

can you adipex(phentermine) and xanax together?

I am a nurse and I have been on xanax for several years. My doctor recently added Adipex to my drug regimen. It is safe taken together, but it kinda like defeating the purpose to take them at the same time. I have had to go up on my dose of xanax due to the side-effects of the Adipex.

Is it ok to Snort xanax vicodin Ativan?

What would make you think snorting any medication that's prescribed to be taken orally is okay? The combination of Xanax (Alprazolam), Vicodin (Hydrocodone), and Ativan (Lorazepam) is a lethal combination of Opiates and Benzodiazepines. Snorting any medication that was not designed to nasally ingested can result in tissue damage in the nose and sinus cavities. Not to mention it can damage your brain. The ending result will be brain damage and the inability to smell.

Do xanax Valium and Klonopin show up the same on a GCMS test?

No.
Alprazolam ("Xanax"), Diazepam ("Valium"), and Clonazepam ("Klonopin") - and their corresponding metabolic products - all have different molecular masses, which is what a Gas Chromatogram/Mass Spectrogram is measuring.
These three drugs also have vastly different half lives in vivo, and thus clonazepam and diazepam can be tested for long after alprazolam would have completely disappeared from the body, let alone fallen below testable levels.
The bottom line is this: if you're given a benzodiazepine legitimately, it is possible to test to see if you've strayed from your prescribed treatment course. The whole reason they test the urine of patients on scheduled drugs is because they often stray from their prescribed treatment and it is possible to test to see if they have.
