Valium Withdrawal Symptoms

Addiction to valium can create a strong dependency in the user and often time generate serious withdrawal symptoms when the user stops. Valium withdrawal symptoms often mirror its therapeutic effects. Symptoms such as rapid heartbeat, insomnia blurred vision, convulsions, tremors, abdominal and muscle cramps, vomiting and sweating may appear after suddenly discontinuing use of the drug. Severe withdrawal symptoms typically occur in users who have been taking excessive doses or taking the drug for an extended period of time. A gradual reduction in the dose of valium is recommended over abrupt discontinuation. Individuals with a history of addiction to drugs or alcohol are even more susceptible to valium.

Valium Intoxication

The risk for an overdose on valium is particularly high when combined with alcohol and may lead to coma or respiratory arrest. Should an overdose occur, the antidote for the benzodiazepine family of drugs is flumazenil. Flumazenil is a benzodiazepine antagonist occasionally used empirically in emergency rooms for patients with unexplained loss of consciousness.

Valium and Alcohol Abuse

Valium is abused by all segments of society. Much like alcohol, valium depresses the central nervous system and is both physically and psychologically addicting especially when abused with alcohol. Benzodiazepines combined with alcohol can create what many consider to be one of the toughest addictions to break. Valium and alcohol abuse can both cause severe emotional and physical dependence. When abused together, some individuals may find it extremely difficult to stop. Mixing alcohol with valium is risky business and can lead to fatalities.
