I've been prescribed Diazepam 5mg/5ml (1mg/1ml) Oral Sol for my anxiety and muscle spasms, and I wanted to start a thread to discuss experiences and insights. I've been taking it for about a month now, and while it has helped with my anxiety, I've noticed some side effects like feeling sleepy and a bit weak. I'm curious to hear from others who have taken this medication. Has anyone else experienced similar side effects? Are there any tips for managing them? Also, I've read about the potential for more serious side effects, so I'm a bit concerned. How common are these, and should I be worried? Let's share our experiences and support each other!

How long have you been on it? I'm curious about long-term effects.

The feeling of tiredness can be managed if you take it at night. But the bigger concern is the potential for dependence. Always consult your doctor if you feel the need to increase the dosage or if you feel like you can’t function without it.

This stuff is a godsend for my muscle spasms, but I can't stand how tired it makes me feel. Also, I've noticed that it's made my memory a bit fuzzy. I've also experienced the weight loss side effect. I miss food but it was the only thing that calmed down my anxiety. I'm thinking about switching to something else soon.

Be careful with this stuff. I've heard horror stories about people becoming dependent on it. I had to wean myself off it slowly.

Diazepam has been a lifesaver for my anxiety attacks. I've had no serious side effects so far, just a bit of drowsiness. You should definitely talk to your doctor about any concerns, though. I've been on it for a few months now and it's been great.
