Is weight loss and hangover a normal side effect with valium?
404445
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.

woah there. Some of this advice is way off. No you don't need a valium and no you don't have social anxiety order (good lord what are people thinking?)\n\nWhat you're describing is very common in people and it happens to almost everyone. The only thing that can help you get better at it is practice-- seriously. I regularly speak in front of large groups of people now and when I first started I used to sweat so bad and I wanted to throw up right before walking out.\n\nIt helps to keep in mind that not as many people are judging you as you think they are. The best advice is to psychologically prepare yourself as best as you can-- but it's not something that comes naturally to everyone.

I have personally seen many people who have complained of hair loss from Klonopin. Many of the anticonvulsant medications have this unfortunate side effect. In many cases in four to six weeks after stopping the loss stops.

I would definitely recommend that you refer this question to your psychiatrist/doctor.  I'm on risperdal, which is one you're not supposed to drink on, but I talked it over with my psychiatrist.  He said I could have up to 3 drinks a week, which is great by me.  I only drink wine.  \n\nA few beers in one night might be a little much, and there is that risk of seizures with Wellbutrin.  Drinking basically affects your psych meds two ways.  Both alcohol and the med work on the Central Nervous System, and there is chance for interaction, there.  Plus, alcohol induces the liver to create more enzymes, which will metabolize the drug and make less of the drug available in circulation.

Valium is definitely stronger than Xanax, but I'm not sure it'll really work any better than drinking a bottle of champagne. Everyone is different on every drug. \n\nI recommend taking it one day when you don't have anywhere else to be and just seeing how it reacts with your system first. The stress of your fear will make it vary on the day of the actual plane trip, but at least you'll have an idea.\n\nP.S. Definitely do not take Valium and vodka as someone recommended. Alcohol and Valium make a very bad combination and could cause heart failure or extensive liver damage, neither of which is worth it. (Yes, people do it every day and live, but it's not worth the risk.)

I don't know what the history of diazepam is. I know that the trade name is Valium. You can administer it IV, IM, and PO. It is used for mild to moderate anxiety related to delirium tremens, drug withdrawal, and psychotic diseases. I will be anxious to find out the history of this drug.

Do not drink alcohol along with your prescriptions... It can cause major side effects, it can also neutralize the effects of the prozac, so it doesn't work properly.. You should consult your psychiatrist, so he/she can explain how alocohol can contribute to major side effects and also neutralize the response of the prozac medication.. But my advice, which by the way, is the best advice, do not mix alcohol with prescriptions..

the anger-anxiety and depression are all part of everyday life for a lot of people--and-they try to "wait it out"-well-that doesn't work-i-at this point in my life-actually take 2 anti depressants-zoloft and elavil--and for the anxiety--xanax on an as needed basis--as far as the weight gain-thats all individualized--not everyone has that same side effects--i actually lost quite a bit of weight while on the antidepressant celexa--then i went off it-had a "meltdown"-went on zoloft-because it takes less time to take effect--hope this helps-good luck!!

A 40 pound weight loss over a year isn't that extreme, it's a little over 3 pounds per month. Perhaps you haven't been eating as much because of your symptoms?\n\n Some of the medications used for GERD(Nexium, Prevacid, Zantac, etc) can cause gastrointestinal problems. I know when I was on Nexium it changed my digestive system entirely. \n Are you stressed and depressed? Sometimes that can lead to colitis as well as Acid Reflux. \n I would talk to your pharmacist and explain the symptoms you described, perhaps they are side effects of the medications you are taking, they would know best.\n\n Good Luck to you.

I'd call the doctor that prescribed it initially.  If not by prescription, then I'd detox myself slowly, perhaps taking 75% of it daily for a few days, then 50%, then 25%, then at timely intervals.  You can beat it!  I was once addicted to Valium and alcohol and detoxed myself a lot of times.

there wont be any major side effects. it should increase your metabolism and supress your appetite while you take it. the problems is many people put the weight straight back on when they stop. constantly gaining and losing weight is bad for you. drink lots of water while you take it though.

A friend of mine was on Topamax and she experienced tingling in her hands and feet.  She also had a change in her taste.  Anything with artificial sweetners tasted very metallic to her and she couldn't stand the taste of anything alcoholic.  She also suffered from weight gain (about 25 lbs).  All of the symptoms went away when she stopped taking the med.
