Description

Diazepam (Valium) – A Clinically Proven Anxiolytic

1. Understanding Diazepam’s Medical Use

Diazepam, first marketed as Valium in the 1960s, remains one of the most widely prescribed benzodiazepines globally. It works by enhancing GABA activity in the central nervous system, producing:

• Anxiolytic (anti-anxiety) effects

• Muscle relaxant properties

• Sedative-hypnotic action at higher doses

Unlike fast-acting benzos like alprazolam (Xanax), diazepam’s long metabolic half-life allows for smoother symptom control without abrupt rebound effects.

A: For long-term use, yes—its gradual onset/offset reduces rebound anxiety. However, both carry addiction risks.

Q: Can I take diazepam for flight anxiety?
A: A 5mg dose 1 hour pre-flight is common, but consult a doctor first.

Q: How does diazepam interact with alcohol?
A: Dangerously—combined use risks respiratory failure.
