Valium is an anxiety medication that can be useful for short-term anxiety treatment. Anxiety can negatively affect someone’s life in many ways. However, it can be treated, and you can learn to cope with anxiety symptoms. Valium for anxiety can be useful for those who struggle with moderate to severe anxiety as it helps people manage symptoms while working on a long-term treatment plan.
When someone struggles with anxiety, they may have other co-existing conditions. To get the best results from treatment, both their anxiety and any co-existing conditions should be treated simultaneously. Common co-existing conditions with anxiety are major depressive disorder, panic disorders (anxiety attack), bipolar disorder, and social phobia. All of these conditions are treatable, and you can learn to manage the symptoms over time.2
Anxiety disorders can consist of a variety of symptoms that will depend on the individual and the severity of their anxiety. There are some common symptoms to look for to determine if you or someone you know is struggling with an anxiety disorder. Common anxiety symptoms include:3
There are risks associated with prolonged symptoms of anxiety. These risks can negatively affect someone’s life in many ways which is why proper treatment and support are necessary to manage anxiety symptoms. Common risks associated with anxiety include:
Valium (diazepam) is a medication that can be used to treat anxiety as well as alcohol withdrawal and seizures. Valium also has a sedative effect that is useful for treating muscle spasms. Valium for anxiety works by calming the brain and nerves. Studies have shown that diazepam for anxiety is an effective anxiety medication that can help reduce anxiety symptoms for individuals who are struggling with this disorder.4
If any of these Ativan side effects last for a long time or become worse, you should talk to your doctor about adjusting the dosage or stopping the medication.6
While Ativan is usually used as an anxiety medication, it can also have different uses.
Some Valium side effects may occur when you are taking Valium for anxiety. The type of side effects and severity will vary depending on the individual and their biological makeup. Due to the sedative effects that Valium has, it can cause symptoms of confusion, dizziness, fatigue, and lack of coordination. Other valium side effects that may occur are:
If you experience severe levels of these Valium side effects, you should contact your doctor so they can adjust your dosage or help you safely stop taking the medication.
Many people who struggle with anxiety also struggle with depression, meaning they may be taking antidepressants if also prescribed Valium. Zoloft (sertraline), one of the most common antidepressants, is known to have a mild interaction with Valium.
If you are taking Zoloft or any other antidepressants, you should check with your doctor to see if they may have an interaction with Valium before taking it.
Prozac, another one of the most common antidepressants, is known to have a moderate interaction with Valium. You must let your doctor know if you are taking Prozac or any other antidepressants before taking Valium. Other medications that are known to have a moderate interaction with Valium are:
Some medications may have severe interactions with Valium. Taking Valium with any of these drugs can lead to many negative side effects. Medications that are known to have severe interactions with Valium include:8
If you have anxiety that is less severe or you do not want to take medications for anxiety, there are other treatment options you can try. If you are taking Valium or other medications for anxiety, using these other treatment options can also help you make additional progress and learn to cope with anxiety symptoms.
Psychotherapy is a term used to describe treatment options for mental health that involve talking with a psychologist, psychiatrist, or other mental health care providers. Psychotherapy sessions will help you learn about how your moods, thoughts, and behaviors are affecting your anxiety.
This treatment can help you reduce anxiety symptoms and develop effective coping mechanisms to manage anxiety during daily activities.
Family therapy can be useful for those whose anxiety stems from issues within the family, or if you want your family to act as a support system as you work on learning to manage anxiety symptoms. Through family therapy, all family members will be educated about anxiety, how it affects your life, and ways they can act as a support system to help you make progress.
Other home remedies may also be helpful when treating anxiety. These are things you can practice on your own that will lead to a healthier mind and body.
Exercise is a positive physical activity that is known to be good for both your mental and physical health. Participating in a regular exercise program will help you create healthier habits, give you energy, and build confidence that can help you better manage anxiety symptoms.
Yoga and tai chi are other activities that can help with both mental and physical health. These activities are often very relaxing and can have a very calming effect on those who struggle with anxiety.
Meditation and mindfulness can also have a calming effect on people struggling with anxiety. Participating in regular meditation or mindfulness activities will help you become more grounded and develop more positive thought patterns that will help manage anxiety symptoms.
