What’s a ‘Valium pill’? (Fans: Robert Pattinson related)?

I just read that Robert Pattinson took a quarter of a Valium pill before his twilight audition, I just wondered like what it is, what it does, etc.

Thanks x

Answer:

what Devon said plus it is a muscle relaxer. I took it when I threw my back out. It is not an anti-depressant!

What happens if you take valium (or similar) and drink a couple of espressos?

Mo: thankfully I live in Italy and i can get real espresso without the ridiculous cost!

(hehehe and valium, too.)

Answer:

They cancel each other out. Valium is a depressant and espresso is a stimulant. I would not recommend doing both at the same time.

Why is it that valium makes you like a brain dead zombie?

I took valium last weekend and cant remember a damn thing, why is this?

Answer:

Valium is a very strong depressant.. it is given to mainly sedate a person completely.. If this is given for any length of time.. then it is very addictive and one becomes tolerant toward it soon.. it’s very strong stuff indeed and mainly given to people with depression.. on rare occasion.. it can be given for any reason just one single time.. but then it has to stop..

Don’t take this drug again.. maybe the doctor thought for whatever reason at the time this was the best to give you.. but to be on this drug on a longer term basis.. would be making a zomie like life out of every day of your life.. so don’t take that..xxx

Is Valium a depressant and is it addictive?

My 77 yr old mother has taken Valium since the 1970′s. She quit smoking about 15 yrs ago because she has emphysema. She is sort of a nervous person who worries about everything so she has always taken Valium to help with that anxiety. Now, at 77, she is depressed and thinks life is basically over, and when she gets low on Valium her worrying gets worse. Seems to me she is hooked on Valium and it is aiding in her depression. Any thoughts on that?

Answer:

The answer to both your questions is yes. It’s both addictive and a depressant.
