My Girlfriend Suffers - VALIUM - PLEASE Advise ?

Q: Everything started some months ago, but she previously suffered from a long form of depression and dizziness. Many specialists visited her, gave their medications, BUT she just finds relief with 4-6 drops of VALIUM per day.

A:You may want to look at a powerful herbal remedy that's been found in medical tests to be superior to Valium for certain things and which has no known side effects. It won't do the whole job, but may help with muscle spasms and anxiety. It's rated as much more powerful than valium for anxiety. It won't necessarily replace all of the valium but may make it possible to reduce the amount that she needs. Look for Chrysin. You can get it in capsule form at the moment but it will shortly be available as a much more effective and efficient gel from a pharmacy here in Canada and another in the US. Prescriptions are not needed. Apnea, hypotension, and cardiac arrest have been reported following parenteral administration of benzodiazepines to the elderly, severely ill patients, or patients with compromised respiratory function. Respiratory depression also has occurred in these patients during benzodiazepine therapy, occasionally resulting in death. Most of the adverse effects associated with diazepam therapy are dose-dependent

and CNS-related including headache, drowsiness, ataxia, dizziness, confusion, depression, syncope, fatigue, tremor, and vertigo. Tolerance may develop to these effects. CNS stimulation occurs in as many as 10% of patients and is of particular significance in psychiatric patients and hyperactive children. This paradoxical effect is possibly due to release of previously inhibited responses. Symptoms of CNS stimulation include nightmares, talkativeness, excitement, mania, tremor, insomnia, anxiety, restlessness, euphoria, acute rage reactions, and hyperactivity. Benzodiazepine therapy usually should be discontinued if signs of CNS stimulation occur.
