Is is safe to take hydrocodone and Valium together?

Maybe. There are several factors which will determine if this is a safe combination for any given patient. Diazepam and hydrocodone belong to different therapeutic classes, however there is significant overlap in their side effect profiles (dizziness, drowsiness, confusion, risk of slip-and-fall, others). An elderly, frail patient may be at greater risk of these side effects where as an otherwise young and healthy patient may be better able to tolerate them.

Diazepam and hydrocodone are both prescription medications. As such, they should only be used (singly or in combination) under specific instructions from your physician or other healthcare provider.

Can you take Valium and paracetamol together?

I think you can take them together provided that its in appropriate doses and you're not allergic to either of them. There is a medication called Tylenol PM that combines both paracetamol and diphenhydramine (benadryl) together. Hope this helps.

Can Valium make you gain weight?

This is just possible. You may eat less food, when you get relief from the anxiety.

What is shelf life of Valium?

Valtrex (valacyclovir hydrochloride) has a nominal shelf life of three years. There might be some variation among generics, but there should be no reason for it being different for the non-Glaxo products. Nominal storage requirements apply, of course, and note that just because the product might be "expired" per the date code, that doesn't mean it isn't still effective. The chemical is quite stable in its pharmaceutical form. Questions like this can be put to any competent pharmacist, and the individual will be happy to share his knowledge. A link can be found below for more information.

Is there a difference between generic Valium and brand name Valium?

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DIFFERENCE EXCEPT PRICE*. Tylenol is just a brand name (McNeil Labs) for acetaminophen. Acetaminophen is acetaminophen, whether it's brand name is Tylenol, Datril, Panadol, Valorin, or approx. 60 other brand names. The same goes for aspirin. Aspirin is aspirin, whether it's brand name is Bayer, Emprin, ZORprin, or approx. 20 other brand names. By law, generic medication MUST have the exact same active ingredients than do the brand names. Many people believe that generics are not as good as the brand name, but when you buy a brand name medication you are paying for the NAME, and all the expensive commercials. The only other difference is how it is COMPOUNDED, meaning how it is put together. Every company must use the very same chemical ACTIVE INGREDIENT in a generic vs the brand name. *The only thing that can vary are the inactive ingredients that hold the pill together(how they are compounded.)

Are candesartan and diazepam compatible?

How long does a 10 mg Valium stay in your urine?

For benzos allot depends on the body fat ratio and metabolic rate. Approx detection time for single use (urine test) is 7-10 days but 10 mg is not to much so best you can do is to give your self 4-5 days and home test your first morning urine, with highest concentration. Look at your pharmacy places and buy a home drug test kit with panel for benzodiazepines.

How do you get Valium?

Start withdrawing the patient on diazepam (Valium), 15 to 25 mg four times daily. Administer sufficient additional diazepam to suppress signs of increased withdrawal (e.g., increased pulse, increased blood pressure, or increased perspiration). Once a diazepam dose is reached which suppresses signs of withdrawal, continue for 2 days then start decreasing by 10% per day. When the diazepam dose approaches 10%, reduce the dose slowly over 3 to 4 days and then discontinue

How long does it take to withdraw from Valium?

how long does ambien stay in your urine

More info by S-B

If you are asking to see how long it will be detectable for a Urine Analysis, then don't worry. I haven't seen a company or organization yet that tests for Ambien. It is not classified under any of the traditional drug types, and it is non narcotic. It is a controlled substance, but UA tests have yet to incorporate Ambien into their testing.

Can you take lunesta and Valium togather?

I just did and this ambien is affecting me like never before. I feel very wobbly and need to get to bed asap before I do some of the stupid things I've heard you can on ambien. I wouldnt advise it if you need to do anything but go to bed. And I handle drugs well.

How long does the withdrawl of Valium last?

Valium (diazepam) has a long half-life of 30-60 hours in addition diazepam has a number of active metabolites, all of which are benzodiazepines like diazepam. The primary active metabolite is nordazepam (aka desmethyldiazepam), best known under the brand name Calmday (not available in North America) which has a half-life of 30-100 hours. Its other active metabolites are temazepam, brand name Restoril in North America, and finally both temazepam and nordazepam break down further into the final active metabolite oxazepam, brand name Serax and Oxpam in North America. Both temazepam and oxazepam have a modest half-life of 8-9 hours.

Due to the long half-life of diazepam it works for a significant period of time. Most of the effects last about 6-8 hours, after that time Valium and its active metabolites continue to exert very subtle and very mild effects that are often unnoticed. This is part of the reason diazepam is one of the most used drugs in people physically dependent to alcohol, barbiturates, other sedative/hypnotics, or other benzodiazepines. Even once the primary effects have worn off withdrawal does not normally occur for 24-48 hours. Since alcohol, most barbiturates, and many benzodiazepines last such a short time Valium is effective in providing a more slow, even, and comfortable withdrawal largely due to its unnoticed effects from lingering metabolites. On the other hand Valium has fallen out of favour by some physicians since, when taken continuously, its metabolites can have greater effects and rarely people have experienced toxicity due to an over accumulation of diazepam and its active metabolites. However this is not typically a concern in healthy individuals except the elderly.

Normally Valium is prescribed 2-3 times a day although in cases of severe anxiety it may be prescribed as often as four times a day. Generally speaking Valium is most typically prescribed 3 times daily for continuous use.

Lastly people with a greater tolerance to the effects of Valium tend to require increased dosing. However tolerance does not typically occur to the anti-anxiety effects although some develop a slow tolerance. On the other hand tolerance to the hypnotic, muscle relaxant, anticonvulsant, and amnesic effects occur more quickly although some people don't develop tolerance to those effects either.

How long does Valium generally work?

20 minutes to half an hour, full effect in one hour.

The short answer is that Valium (diazepam) has a rapid onset of action, faster that nearly all benzodiazepines. It is effective orally within 20 to 30 minutes. Its peak plasma (blood) concentration occurs between 30 minutes and 2 hours after administration.

For the longer answer:

Diazepam can be administered, orally, intravenously, intramuscularly or as a suppository. The onset of action is 1-5 minutes for IV administration and 15-30 minutes for IM administration, although onset can be faster. Diazepam's peak plasma concentration is 15 minutes to 1 hour for the intravenous or intramuscular route.

Diazepam has a half-life of 20-50 hours, it has several active metabolites most notably nordiazepam, also known as desmethyldiazepam (average half-life 30-55hrs), temazepam (average half-life 10-40hrs), and oxazepam (average half-life 5-20hrs). Diazepam is a long acting benzodiazepine, in some cases diazepam's active metabolites my last for up to 200hrs. For this reason, it is often substituted for other shorter acting benzodiazepines when dosage reduction or withdrawal is desired.

Does the dot test for Valium?

No. Xanax is a benzodiazepine; benzos are central nervous system depressants.

CNS depressants are not drugs of concern to DOT because no truck driver wants a drug that will make him sleepy; if a trucker is going to do illegal drugs he wants the kind that will keep him up all night so he can drive farther.

Can Zoloft and diazepam be taken together?

This would be OK if you remain under your doctor's supervision. Taking both of these together can cause side effects such as dizziness and confusion. Remember that lorazepam is habit forming, and should be taken exactly as the doctor orders.

Your doctor may recommend a good therapist to help you learn how to use healthy coping skills to deal with anxiety and stress. This way you can CURE your anxiety, get rid of the sedatives, and get back to living!

Can you give Valium to a feral cat to relax him so you can clean him up trim matted fur and maybe wash him?

Of COURSE you get the cat to a vet. The reason people are asking for prescribing information is that, it is a holiday, after 5:00, no vets available in other words. I myself AM a vet tech. Valium for cats turns out to be YES in low doses. Don't be so quick to condescend.

Does diazepam make you sleepy?

Yes, it does.

It is even sometimes prescribed for insomnia to take advantage of it's ability to make you drowsy - although insomnia has also been reported as a side-effect in some people taking it for other reasons.

Drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, or headaches are known possible side effects. If any of these effects persist or worsen, notify your doctor or pharmacist promptly.

Is it ok to mix 10 mg of Valium and robitussin at betime only?

Well first of all high amounts of any type of cough syrup will back fire on you and cause you to have the reverse effect. The thinking that if one dose is good, that more than one dose is even better doesn't work with cough syrups. Tend to make you jittery and sleeplessness can occur. of course mixing Valium with the antihistimines and other ingredients in cough syrups is probably not a great idea, but you would probably be ok if a small dosage of Valium. But this combination probably wouldn't have a pleasant effect.
