valium is actually safe to continue to use especially when you are under a physician or healthcare provider supervision. it's good to hear that it worked but you want to be careful about mixing it with other medications. you also want to be careful about drinking alcohol with it because alcohol can make the drowsiness side effect more intense. you want to take it when you need it and then see how you feel. i always tell patients when they are using muscle relaxers that in some cases it might make you more tired than what you think. so take it at home first before you go out driving or operating any type of machinery and see okay i am a little too tired i am not going to go to the store right now. i am going to wait till i feel a little bit better about it. but once again keep a diary to make sure that it's working for you. if you have some more side effects talk to your pharmacist. we will look it up and see if that's a common side effect and possibly refer you back to your physician or healthcare provider.
my doctor gave me valium as a muscle relaxant and it was great for my nerve pain. is it safe to continue to use?
