    valium

    I take a very small dose of valium, I was given 5mg, but I actually cut that in half due to being so sensitive to medication. I have been on it for almost a month, lately I am expressing low blood pressure like symptoms...
    If I get up, even if I get up slow... I will get a fuzzy black out sensation, pounding head pain, and slight numbness... this will last for 2 seconds... but is very scary... I know I need to tell my doctor, but I am really nervous... Could this be from valium?

    I also take lexapro for anxiety (5mg)
    Ever since I took valium my panic attacks come back =(

    The annoying part is... my PFD pain got SO MUCH BETTER with the valium... so its a win / lose situation !?

    Hi, Daisy ~ I don't have any experience with oral valium, but anytime you experience side effects which might be listed on the medication info sheet it's a pretty good indicator you should call your doctor.

    I'm so glad your symptoms are easing up, but still might be a good idea to check with your doc....valium just might not be the right med for you.

    Blessings and take care,

        Good Morning, Daisy ~ I was thinking that if you take the valium for PFD, maybe you'd handle the vaginal valium suppositories better. I don't consider myself sensitive to many meds, but I don't feel anything negative as a result of using them for my PFD. Just a thought!

        Take care.

          I think it's good you will be calling your doctor. It could be the valium --- it's frequently used as a pre-op medication.

          Warm hugs,
          Donna
          Stay safe
