Took a 5mg valium on monday then took half of a 5mg of valium of wednesday and today im wanting to start to take a 0.25mg of xanax

Does anybody know if it is safe to take a xanax?

(Was traveling this week and all i had was the valium on me cause I forgot the xanax)

Any tips will help.

Honestly I don’t know, but they are both pretty powerful little pills, so I would proceed with caution and most likely should contact your physician to see

Agree...very powerful and addictive. Be careful. I realize they do the job but they are scary drugs.

Do you reccomend any other short term anxiety pill to take as needed?

[Craftykat in reply to Hidden]

Thank you for responding

I will definitely be asking.

Have a nice day.

I don't tend to abuse them either just when I need some find of relief I'm kind of scared to take the xanax but I'm wondering if there is another kind of pill except valium or xana?

Would you take them as needed or a everyday thing ?

Ya know like I said everyone is different...I took them everyday for years....needed them desperately...got me through some very challenging times... I don't know about any other kind of calm me down pill...maybe someone else on here does...I wish you the best...

A friend of mine had Valium for severe panic attacks, that’s all she used it for. She had another medication for a daily dosage for her anxiety. Not sure if your situation is the same, but if you’re uneasy from the Xanax I’d ask your doctor for advice on this matter

I am quite un easy to take the xanax but then i wonder if the valium is worse on the body.

but my doctor had prescribed me lexapro the first time but i felt that wasnt the path i wanted to take so she give me xanax but i'm like ???

I do have a doctor appt soon.

But my system lately have been heart fluttering in the a.m and p.m and some times nausea, sweating, mild breathing to heavy just depends.

And forget naps

How about you what kind of medication do you take ?

well don't be discouraged, from what ive read on here its an ever changing battle.. and for me i felt that the side effects were overwhelming at a point and tried stopping meds altogether.. its a very personal choice to do so and i cannot say i recommend. and now my symptoms of depression and anxiety are starting to come back around pretty heavily.. i did pretty good for about a year though, just now i wish i would of taken that time to find out what worked best for me
