What is stronger a 5mg Valium or a 10mg Valium?

This truly depends on if you take any medications in the benzodiazipines class. Some that you may of heard of are Xanax, Klonopin, Ativan... there are many others but you are most likely to have heard of xanax or Valium as they are the most commonly know, and in the states Klonopin is one of the most commonly prescribed, due to it's "Lack of dependency quality" this class of drugs in most countries are "controlled" meaning a medical professional would have to prescribe it to you. To get to the nitty-gritty bare bones answer;

YES 10mg of Valium is the strongest dose they make... however it is about equal in strength to .5mg of Xanax... similar yet largely different effects, Xanax is most commonly prescribed as an EXTREMELY fast acing drug to be taken when an anxiety attack come on, and is very powerful, yet Valium is more slow to act, and has more of a relaxing, tiring effect. So for someone that takes 5 1mg xanax a day, Valium is not strong to that user, however for someone that has never taken one of these medications before or does not take benzodiazipines regularly, consult with your Doctor to make sure that 10mg is NOT to strong for you.

What is stronger Morphine or Valium?

Morphine is a very strong opiate (painkiller), while Valium is a benzodiazepam (sedative). They are in two completely different classes of drugs, however they cause similar experiences. Morphine will definitely produce a stronger, more intense high than Valium. Morphine will essentially make you feel incredibly euphoric and contented with an accompanying strong body high. Although diazepam modulates the dopamine system in a way similar to morphine, its effects are certainly not as powerful.

Can you take Ambien and Valium together?

Ambien and valium can be taken together if prescribed by and under the counsel of a doctor. Both medications can cause drowsiness so taking the two together can markedly increase this effect. Be aware of this when deciding when to take these medications as you will want to avoid any type of activity requiring you to be alert.

Can you take Valium with antibotics?

Yes, you can but you will want to go lower on each drug on your regular dosage level. If you haven't had either, I would not recommend this or start VERY LOW.

Both Benzos. Both Anti-Anxiety oral tablets. Xanax works " FAST but doesn't LAST" (about 2 hours) so more of a "quick fix"; Atavan lasts longer 6+ hours. Both are highly addictive if used daily (for more than 4 weeks).

Where do you get Valium?

A licensed doctor can prescribe Valium (diazepam) if he feels the medication is appropriate for you based on your medical problem, other medication you take, and your medical history.

Valium is approved to treat a wide range of medical problems:

For the management of an anxiety disorder associated with symptoms such as tension, excitation, agitation, fear or aggressiveness.

For symptomatic relief of acute anxiety.

For acute alcoholic withdrawal and symptomatic relief of acute anxiety, agitation, tremor, impending acute delirium tremens, and convulsions.

For the relief of skeletal muscle spasm.

For preoperative sedation, sedation prior to non-surgical procedure, and adjacent to other drugs for anesthesia.

For the acute treatment of a seizure (eg gran mal) and status epilepticus.

For chronic control of epilepsy typically adjacent to other medication.

In addition Valium is used "off label" to treat conditions it is not technically approved for. However using a drug off label requires that some studies indicate the drug may be beneficial in treating the problem.

Examples include:

For acute or chronic insomnia.

For restless legs syndrome (RLS) or periodic limb movement disorder (PLMD)

For night terrors

For obsessive compulsive disorder typically adjacent to other medications.

For benzodiazepine, barbiturate, and other sedative/hypnotic withdrawal.

For Ménière's disease.

There are many other conditions Valium may be used to treat however not all are universally accepted or commonly practiced.

It is only a doctor who can determine the most appropriate treatment for a medical problem and will prescribe accordingly.

What is the DEA schedule for Valium?

DEA Schedules of Controlled Substances The Controlled Substances Act of 1970 regulates the manufacturing, distribution, and dispensing of drugs that are known to have abuse potential. The Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) is responsible for the enforcement of these regulations. The controlled drugs are divided into five DEA schedules based on their potential for abuse and physical and psychological dependence. Schedule I (C-I): High abuse potential and no accepted medical use (heroin, marijuana, LSD) Schedule II (C-II): High abuse potential with severe dependence liability (narcotics, amphetamines, and barbiturates) Schedule III (C-III): Less abuse potential than schedule II drugs and moderate dependence liability (nonbarbiturate sedatives, nonamphetamine stimulants, limited amounts of certain narcotics) Schedule IV (C-IV): Less abuse potential than schedule III and limited dependence liability (some sedatives, antianxiety agents, and non-narcotic analgesics) Schedule V (C-V): Limited abuse potential. Primarily small amounts of narcotics (codeine) used as antitussives or antidiarrheals. Under federal law, limited quantities of certain schedule V drugs may be purchased without a prescription directly from a pharmacist. The purchaser must be at least 18 years of age and must furnish suitable identification. All such transactions must be recorded by the dispensing pharmacist. Prescribing physicians and dispensing pharmacists must be registered with the DEA, which also provides forms for the transfer of Schedule I and II substances and establishes criteria for the inventory and prescribing of controlled substances. State and local laws are often more stringent than federal law. In any given situation, the more stringent law applies.

How long does it take for Valium to leave your system?

2 days, but I would give it 3 days just to be sure.

      • Valium takes quite a long time to clear from your system, I took 1 on a Tuesday and tested positive for it the following Monday and was NOT a regular user of Valium, though I had taken 2 the previous week. I do not know the exact duration but if you have a drug test for parole or probation purposes, I urge you to be extremely conservative in estimating how long it will take to get a Valium or other benzo out of your system.***

Will Valium make you fail drug test?

If the drug test is testing for Benzodiazepines, then you will test positive. If the test looks for SPECIFIC benzodiazepines the you will definitely test positive for diazepam (valium). You may also test positive for the metabolites (by-products) of valium: nordiazepam, oxazepam and temazepam. However, if you have a valid prescription in your name for this medication, a positive test will not be an issue.
