is 5mg valium stronger then 1mg ativan?

Ativan is benzodiazepine with an action similar to diazepam  (valium), valium is the same but allows skeletal and mental relaxation it's for sedation and anxiety.\n\nUsually for anxiety ativan you would take orally 2-3mg or 2-4mg for a premedication before surgery for sedation.\n\nValium usually is taken 2mg orally 3 times a day. 15mg for pre medication IV.\n\nIt depends on the action you require over which time frame to which is stronger valium has a quicker effect in a shorter time so to answer your question if both drugs are taken at the same time valium would kick arse.\n\nPS I have to be responsible and tell you not to take it if its not prescribed for you.

I believe it does. I've been given ativan while in the hospital, and if I remember right, it is a barbituate.

No.  Valerian root is prepared from a native North American herb, Valerianus oficinalis.  Valium generic name "diazepam"), on the other hand, is a "benzodiazepine", a synthetic sedative and skeletal muscle relaxant.  They are both sedative, but they have different mechanisms of action.  Valerian root has no skeletal muscle effect, and does not interfere with memory like Valium.  I don't know of any study that has shown that people become dependent upon or addicted to valerian, but it happens that people do become dependent upon benzodiazepines.  The effect of valerian root is not made worse if taken with alcohol, the same is NOT true of Valium.\n  Both are sedative, both have anti-seizure activity, but the two are chemically quite different and have different safety profiles.

The interaction is the same, regardless of the 1/2 tab vs. whole tab.  You may experience slight drowsiness, lightheadedness, since the both act on the central nervous system.

Ativan (Lorazepam) is an anti-anxiety agent (benzodiazepines,mild tranquilizer) used for the relief of anxiety, agitation and irritability, to relieve insomnia, to calm people with mania / schizophrenia and intravenously as a sedative and for nervous tension or to relieve anxiety prior to surgery.\n\nYour second question (re FDA):  Well, they did tell you what chemical ingredient it was, so I suppose packaging of medicine is acually no different....

valium or diazepam comes in 5 or 10 mg pills, the fives are yellow and the 10 are blue about the size of a baby aspirin

1%? That is a very low dose. If you're not feeling a difference in a couple of weeks I would ask the Doctor if he can up the percentage. He may want to give you a month. Follow the prescription and be patient. It does take a little time, but if you don't notice a difference, the percentage can definetly be raised from what your currently taking.

There are a couple of things you can do. I have sleep apnea and cannot get to sleep and once I am to sleep I wake up.  I have tried all sorts of sleeping pills and they all seem to do the same thing to me as they are doing to you.  I tried breaking them in half and taking them earlier but the sleeping pills still made me groggy.  I tried  Melatonin and that worked for a while and then became in effective.  \n\nI finally found the answer for me and it is cheap.  I use generic Valium 5 mg - I break them in half and take one at 9 PM and take benadryl at 9 PM - I sleep like a baby and wake up rested - Oh yes only take one 25 mg of benadrl.  This combination has worked for me for several years and it is cheap.  One bottle of generic Valium costs me 2.50 for 60 - 5 mg tablets and since I break them in half they last me about 120 days.  The Benadryl is I think around 5.00 and there are 100 tablets per bottle.  That works out to about 7.5 cents per day.  Not bad for a good night sleep -\n\nHope this helped you

Benzos have weird solubility.  Some are fine in water, like midazolam.  Most aren't.  Here's a recipe for making an oral suspension of diazepam.  This formula is assuming that the medication is to remain suitable for human consumption.\n\nA diazepam 1 milligram/milliliter suspension, 80 milliliters, may be prepared using 8 diazepam 10 milligram tablets, absolute ethanol 4 milliliters (solubilizer), propylene glycol 24 milliliters (solubilizer), simple syrup 20 milliliters (sweetener) and chocolate syrup 32 milliliters (masks the bitterness). This mixture should be labeled "shake well" and "protect from light" and is stable for 14 days at room temperature.\n\nIf you have an issue where you can't swallow tabs, it might be better to just crush them and sprinkle onto applesauce.\n\nIf you want to do something truly stupid like crush a tab and shoot up, you'll have a hard time.  It takes some really nasty chemicals (propylene glycol) to make it dissolve, and the pH has to be just right.  The solvents are pretty toxic in their own right.

You can try a herbal product called Valerian. Actually valerian is what they use to make valium anyway. You may also want to try taking some B vitamins, they are good for strengthening freyed nerves.\nI hope this helped!

yes the percocet and the darvocet will show up as opiates. they won't show up as darvocet and percocet. just as opiates. be sure to be able to  prove you have a prescription. ativan will show up as a benzodiazepene. it leaves your system in about 3 days. the propoxyphene in darvocet is a synthetic opiate. good luck.

You only took a half, so the max you would have taken would be what 5mg.  Ok dude, you should be fine.  I wouldn't sweat it too much.  That little bit of a pill is probably already gone.  Just another tid bit of info, at a drug test, they are looking for the use of illegal drugs~pot, coke, herion, etc.  I wouldn't worry about it.  If for some reason they ask you if you took something just tell them you had a horrible head ache and a friend gave you a pill to feel better but you didn't know what it was.

you better believe it.  Don't try to find out how much.  Stick to whatever is prescribed for you.  Also, xanax is highly addictive, so don't mess around with it.
