I’m gonna get my wisdom teeth out tomorrow and was wondering if the medication BACLOFEN can take the substitute of VALIUM. I read on the internet that patients usually get some sort of medication the to take the night before the surgery and also early morning the day of the surgery. I didn’t get any. I found BACLOFEN in my house and was wondering if that is a good substitute. BACLOFEN is a muscle relaxer while VALIUM is a anxiety reducer.
If you are having a general or IV sedation, do not take these. There could be drug reactions. Any meds you need will be dispensed to you before the surgery.
I have claustrophobia and need to sleep for at least 3 hours on the plane
ativan is a muscle relaxer and would be better for a short plane ride than Valium. Valium leaves to much of a drug hang over and will stay in your system much longer. at least With ativan (as Long as you do not mix with alcohol ) it will be out of you system by the time you get up from your nap.
sorry if i missed spelled the words but they are types of drugs that i think numb pain… i’m just curious… thanks
In layman’s terms:
Valium is used more for anxiety or as a muscle relaxer
Vicodin is a painkiller
i did a google search and came up with anxiety disorder.
anxiety and bad nerves. Some doctors I have heard give it or sleep ,nervous stomachs also as a muscle relaxer for severe back pain
How about my rheumatologist won’t give them to me. Should I ask my primary physician?
there are meds out there to treat actually the rheumatism & I’m sure that’s what he’s giving you, you don’t need muscle relaxers cause it’s the joint itself & your doc knows this;; you can get hooked on the valium & again, there is no cause to take it;; your primary will probably deny you too…
Apparently I “severely sprained” a muscle in my lower back. The dr prescribed valium because it’s supposed to be a very effective muscle relaxer. The pain is unbearable and I need relief but I stay home full time with my 22 month old and I’m nervous about what the valium will do to me. Has anyone out there taken it and if so, what happened? Only serious answers please.
Depending on how high your dose it it could make you fairly sleepy and slow to react. Either try to keep yourself awake when you take it, or have somebody with you at your house.
Also, Valium has a tendency to be abused easily. Addiction is always a possibility, but seems unlikely with you.
I was wondering because it is also a muscle relaxer, and I’m a guy so what would that mean for me? Has anyone had good experiences while on valium and having sex?
You will be fine. If it worries you take the valium after sex and not before but I don’t know anyone who had problems with it.
