What time spanshould you take the Valium before your dental work?

About two hours. If you are driving, consult with your dentist. She may want you to come to the office early so that you will not have to drive under the influence of the Valium, or else have someone drive you.

How long does Valium stay in your system?

3 days. Although I strongly discourage its use unless under the most dire of medical circumstances.

Valium is very addictive. Untold numbers of patients and medical staff alike are addicted to Valium. Literally addicted to Valium and a few other drugs.

Benzodiazapines (such as Valium) can stay in the system for a longer period of time if the patient has been taking them for a long time. In chronic usage cases - Valium will be detectable for up to 30 days.

In only rare occurrences where the patient has taken only one or two doses will the Valium not be detectable in a few days...and again, that is very rare.

I took Valium for 4 weeks after back surgery....it showed up in a urine test 28 days after i stopped taking it.... I was taking 5mg 3x a day for 4 weeks

      • Just a note to verify that last statement, Valium stays in your system a LONG time, after taking just 2-3 over a 2 day period, i tested posted for it 1.5-2 wks later. And I am a 35 yr old v. active male, and normally drink lots of fluids...so be careful if you have a test coming up. Note, you are normally NOT tested for benzos on a standard SAMSHA drug screen (pre-employment). It's only the expanded ones which you get if you are a pilot or train operator...or in a drug program (me). Good luck.***

I have to disagree with the previous statement.... as far as pre-emploment drug-screening. Although I'm sure that all agencies use different screening assessments, if you happen to be as unlucky as I was, they used a 10 panel drug test, which detects EVERYTHING! Added to insult, if anything does show up, they further investigate to determine exact levels. Benzos will must certainly show up as well as several others! To get a complete listing on what they look for on a 10 panel, you can most certainly look that up. Some companies only will do a 5 panel which is much less thorough and invasive. I had to take the test before working at a hospital. My suggestion is to try and find out which test they will be using! Good luck

Will a 30 kg dog be ok after eating 20Mg of Valium?

Maybe - it would be best to notify your veterinarian of the accidental ingestion immediately. Your veterinarian can then tell you what to watch for to know if your dog is having a problem. There are other factors that influence whether a dog of a certain size will have a reaction to a certain dose of a drug, including age, health status, breed and any other medications or treatment he might be receiving.

Where are the injection sites for Valium on the body?

Valium (diazepam) is typically administered via intramuscular or intravenous injection. Common injection sites for intramuscular administration include the deltoid muscle in the upper arm, the vastus lateralis in the thigh, or the gluteus medius in the buttock. For intravenous use, the injection is usually given in a vein in the arm or hand. It's important for this medication to be administered by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting.

How long does Valium last between doses and does it last longer than Xanax?

Valium (diazepam) typically lasts longer than Xanax (alprazolam) between doses. The effects of Valium can last anywhere from 6 to 8 hours, while Xanax generally has a shorter duration of action, lasting about 4 to 6 hours. Additionally, Valium has a longer half-life, which can contribute to its prolonged effects compared to Xanax. However, individual responses may vary based on factors such as dosage and metabolism.

Is lorazapan the same as Valium on a follicle test?

No, lorazepam and Valium (diazepam) are not the same substance and will not show up identically on a follicle test. While both are benzodiazepines used to treat anxiety and other conditions, they have different chemical compositions. A follicle test can differentiate between the two, detecting specific metabolites associated with each drug. Therefore, they would show up as distinct substances in such testing.

Can you mix Valium and imovane?

Mixing Valium (diazepam) and Imovane (zopiclone) is not recommended without medical supervision. Both medications are central nervous system depressants, and combining them can increase the risk of severe side effects, including respiratory depression, excessive sedation, and impaired coordination. Always consult a healthcare professional before mixing medications to ensure safety and appropriate management of your health conditions.

How do you cut down from 5mg of Valium?

Consult your doctor orpsychiatrist to get the best counseling and feedback.

If your daily dosage is 5 mg you might beadvisedto use 2,5 mg stesolid or 2mg Valium, these can be divided to 1,25 Stesolid or 1 mg Valium.

I would strongly advice taking the 2,5 mg and slowly reduce.


Even though its a very small dosage, and therefore wont take that long time to quit, it is still a demanding challenge.


Good luck. It's a respectful choice to quit Valium!
