Sometimes.  Usually about one week.  Get your doc to give you some valtrex.

Fabio is wrong. After five months there is no longer any vaium residue in your body. Any traces would have completely disspiated after about four weeks of absitinence. However, you must know that benzodiapenes (the class of meds that valium is in) are perhaps the most addictive class os drugs--including alcohol--out there, and also that their withdrawl symptoms during detox are as bad as those of heroin.\n  Assuming you got off the valium on your own, "cold turkey" and without the aid of medical detox, your brain neurons are still having trouble getting back in synch. The brain works by the firing of nuero transmitters, kind of like spark plugs on a car. Except it is chemicals that make these synapses fire! So when you medicate them with Valium they are in effect getting "stunned" so they don't  fire so well. Again, like fouling a spark plug with oil.\n  It is just taking your brain some time to get used to firing on all cylinders again. The brain after all, is like a muscle, you use it or lose it. Things will get back to normal after a bit.\n  You  might try taking vitamins B12 and thiamine. They enhance your neuro system and are used by docs in detox of benzo patients.

It depends on dosage and route of administration. For IV administration it only takes a minute or two, but for pill form it can take longer (up to 30 minutes I'd say).  You should probably consult a pharmacist or physician for more specific info on it though.

don't listen to these jackasses.\n\nBenzodiazepines Short-term Therapeutic Use:  1 to 5 days (since you only took half I would assume you're fine.)\nLong-term / Chronic Use:  1 to 3 weeks

OH can I answer this! I have been on "that medication" for quite some time also..but there is hope...go to walgreens and get Valerian Root...it is the natural ingredient found in Valium. It is totally safe. I am a medical Asst for a doctor, who is really into herbs etc. I promise you will feel great and the withdrawls you are experiencing will stop. you do not need a prescription, it is over the counter. look it up online you will see

Shouldn't affect you, but make sure you don't swallow any saliva for a few minutes after. If you are still not sure, ask your pharmacist. They know their stuff!

of course, talk to your Dr. about it... but it will help you to relax... Valium sounds like a major strong drug.. and i suppose it could be in large doses, but its actually not a hard/zonk you out drug in small doses... sounds like you might need that or some tranzene or something to help you with the peaks of anxiety you are suffering...   your hormones might still be out of whack with having a baby 6 mo. ago...   talk to your Dr.,  if he is anything like mine, he will let you try some diff.things to get a grip on it... anxiety and sleeplessness is not fun. its 2006 and you should not have to suffer,  medication is so helpful but you don't want to become dependent if you can help it..    good luck and feel better soon.   j

How long did you take this drug?\n\nAnyway you have to taper off very slowly. Stay on 5mg for 3 months. You may feel dizziness, shock like sensations and a lot of other problems after you stop the drug, but the problems disappears in 3 to 12 weeks.\n\nI have taken this drug (20mg) for more than 6 years and could stop it successfully.\n\nDid your doctor tell you to stop it?\n\n10mg is a very low dose. People usually take from 40mg to 60mg a day for a long term.

Not usually.  Since people respond differently to meds, it would be a good idea to call your pharmacist about side effects of valium and then call your doctor.   The symptoms you describe may be due to medication or something else entirely.  Only your doctor can check out your response.

Ive taken zoloft for years.  Missing one dose has caused a lot of problems with me and my emotional state.  It isnt good to do that because you throuw your whole system off for weeks, and that is why they say that prescriptions usually take 4-6 weeks to kick in or whatever time frame:  so that your body can get used to it, and the inhibitors within the drug can take it's sweet time to effect your brain and fill in the chemical imbalances.  I also take thyroid pills and I get knocked off course if I miss one dose, and it lasts a couple weeks for me (even if I continue taking it again) to even get back to normal, and I feel down and depresed the entire time.  it isnt worth it, try your hardest to remember to take them, especially zoloft, you dont want to continue feeling miserable until your body gets back on course, do you?  That is why you are taking them in the first place.  Ty and think of ways you can remember to take them, I have so many pills it's gotten easier for me to remember, but missing a dose can really mess up your mind and cause your body to slow down with whatever is going on that you need it.  Good luck, Ive been in the same boat for 12 years

Well, for starters, it depends on the ingredients of the prescriptions.  If you are taking anti-anxiety medications(ex. Xanax) a.k.a. Benzodiazepines...usually 3-5 days.  Pain medications(barbiturates), then about the same; also the dosage depends as well.  For instance, if you take only as needed, then within 5 days it should have metabolized out of your system.   However, if you take them for chronic pain, i.e. long-term, then you will have the drug in your system on a regular basis.  The point of chronic pain maintenance is to keep the pain medication in your system at all times to stay in your system.\n\nSecond, most employers only test for THC, Cocaine, Amphetamines/Methamphetamines, etc...The best course of action is to tell the drug screen facility that you have taken a prescription pill before submitting to the test.  Also, if you take the prescription Marinol, it can cause a positive for THC(Marijuana).\n\nFinally, if you are on probation/parole, you must be careful about taking anything with amphetamines (Sudafed, Ny-Quil, other cough syrups) because there is enough in them to set off a positive result with their drug screens.  Also, Ny-Quil, mouth washes, and other cough syrups that contain alcohol will cause you to fail a breath test for alcohol.\n\nAs a last note:  Your weight and metabolism activity plays a significant role in how fast you can metabolize medication.  Beware, those kits that claim to clean you out also reduce your level of Creatinin and it will be obvious to the test giver that you have attempted to clean out your system!!  Meaning that your urine sample will be dilute!

Your body will only absorb the amount it needs, anything extra\nwill be flushed out of your body, so you would be just waisting\nmoney taking 2. Why over due it?

24 hours - you won't feel the effects after 6-10, but it will still be in your system for atleast 24.

I've been a narcotic addict for 36 years, so I hope this helps, since I speak from experience.  \n\nValium works differently for different people as far as addiction, but, if you are taking it every day, plan on having one H*ll of a time coming off.  I've seen friends get hooked in a week and have seen some that it takes a month of daily use. It also depends on what mgs. you're taking, your weight, your body composition -- a whole lot of things are involved in determining how long you can use them without getting hooked. \n\nAnyway you look at it, your messing up your nervous system by slowing/calming it down. If you suffer from anxiety to begin with, you are going to be super anxious when you stop.  There is the lack of sleep and grouchiness too.  Some people have psychotic reactions to coming off any kind of tranqs.  My counselors and doctors have told me it can take up to five years to get your system back to where it was before you started taking them.  \n\nJUST STAY AWAY FROM XANAX cause they will kick your butt in a couple days.  \n\nGood luck, and really try not to take those V's on a regular basis -- I know how good they make us feel and its hard not to enjoy them.  Trust me, like I said, I speak from a long period of experience!
