Valium

Posted by tjprather1 @tjprather1, Jul 6, 2023

My doctor had me on Valium for over 40 years per prescription. I personally tapered and discontinued because the Valium were not helping me because of over a 40 usage. It’s been 7 months. I’m I officially detoxed and is it still in my system. Tired and a rough journey.
Help!

Understanding why my doctor didn’t consider me as a human being instead of a lab animal. A lot of anger! I need to know if the Valium is out of my system and what to expect of how my body will react. I’m 71 years old give me a break.

Being prescribed for decades happened to many of us here and we’re all very angry. At 7 months the Valium is definitely out of your system. Are you feeling okay? How do you feel?

I feel ok; just a lot of energy, but I went through detox 30 years ago through a hospital; unfortunately my doctor gave me more Valium because I was bouncing off the walls and driving was difficult Concentrating was more difficult. I tapped off myself since I knew how to detox. Believe it the Valium stop working. I had no sense of feeling as you take the Valium and I knew the feeling well. Now I exercise every day, spiritually has help me take my mind and body back. I do eat good, one cup of coffee day and no other caffeine. I drink 8 ounces of bottle water up to 7 or 8 bottles a day. It helps to flush everything out of your system. Good for organs, skin, etc. Trust me if I could do it anyone can do it. Faith is a must.

Sincerely,
Tom
God Bless
