    Valium supositories for PFD

    Has anyone had success with these?

    I tried my first one tonite, and had a heck of a time having it stay put, and then it seeped out and seemed to iritate my vulva :-(

    Im not sure what mine is compounded with since the Pharmacy didnt have it listed on the box....and I hope with time maybe it wont seep out as much.

    thanks

    I went to the IC conference in Houston last Saturday and a doctor talked about valium suppositories being sucessful (as well as oral valium)
    20 mg of valium compounded is the recipe for the suppository.
    Mitch, If the suppository is burning your vulva try to stick it as high as possible or try a difernt mix that you'll be able to tolerate.

    The doctor speaker added that some of his patients crush the pill and mix it with a lubricant (don't know if that would be OK for VV though...but it is definitely cheaper)
    I'm curious about valium suppositories too b/c I don't think Elavil is doing the trick with me and I don't want to take a higher doses of the medication. I heard also something about Elavil not being good for PDF and making things worse... I heard it tiwce during the same week.

    Recurrent yeast infections since mid 2005
    IC dx 3/2006
    V V dx 12/2006
    Other conditions: IBS, allergies, dry eyes.

    Current IC medications:
    Elavil (since 12/06) 10 mg;
    Cysta Q (since 5/07)
    Rephresh acid jel every 3 days
    D-mannose, fish oil, Calcium Citrate, Multivitamins & garlic pills (sometimes)
    Probiotics Femdophilus or other brands
    Gy-Na-Tren for yeast infections (started using it as needed since 2010)
    Other Rx:Omeprazole 20mg; benadryl as needed, Restasis

    Past Meds and why I stopped them:
    Elmiron: March to September 2006: headaches
    Lyrica:2 weeks in 2006: headaches
    Cystoprotek: from Jan to April 2007: nausea
    Femcon Fe (2/07 to 10/07):caused spotting/bleeding
    BCP:Loestrin (since Ocotber 2007) to stop spotting for 2 months. V V worse. Stopped the pill in Nov 07.

      Thanks SMR,

      Guess what the one supository that I did helped me a lot. I went from the worst muscle tone(brick wall) to a two.

      My PT was amazed, and its the only thing different that I did.

      She also gave me some helpful tips on inserting the supository.


      Im glad that it was mentioned at the houston conference, hopefully more will get help with this.

      I was horrible when i started PT, and now, well its like I am a completely different person, nothing short of a miracle.

      I do still have flares...but i think I am on my way.

        Hi, I have found that if I lie down for about 30-45 minutes after putting in the suppository that I do not have as much seepage. This is the pits if you are needing to be up and about, however. They do help me some, but are so expensive. I am going to try just inserting the pills next time. I have a script for some pills, but I haven't filled it yet.

          I haven't tried this yet but I'm thinking if you are going to try to insert juts the pill to crush it first and mix it with a lubricant that you tolerate, I'm thinking it'll be better if you do a trial by mixing a smaller amount of the medicine first...of course run it by your doctor.

          I'm trying to get as much infomation as possible and then I'll talkt to my doctor about it....

          Question: do you do the suppositories twice a day? or just once a day? do you have to do every day...for good?

            Im only doing them 3 times a week right now.

            Not sure how long I will be using them, I guess until things start to calm down, i was a real mess.
