Crescent Brand Diazepam

[Jefner]

I keep getting different brands of my 2mg Diazepam. I used to Actavis which changed to Almus. Recently been given Crescent and I don't feel they work for me. Not giving me the required mental relief that I usually get. Anyone else experience this brand not working for them?

[Jeff1943]

All the different brands of diazepam are identical whoever makes them.

[Jefner in reply to Jeff1943]

not true

[Jeff1943 in reply to Jefner]

By law medications have to contain a carefully measured amount of the active ingredient and there are regular checks by government health agencies to ensure those standards are strictly adhered to. Any pharmaceutical company that produced meds that deviate from the standard would have their licence revoked.

generic brands do not suit me. I am brand sensitive and not all ingredients are the same

It could be that you have built up a tolerance to the dosage and it’s not as affective as it was. Discuss it with your doctor.

50 years ago I took half a 5mg diazepam three times a day for a year. Just as effective after a year as at the beginning. Coming off it takes time and should be a gradual process but it's the same for all other psychiatric meds.

It’s an individual experience. The doctor knows the needs of an individual.

[Jefner in reply to Isinatra]

not the case with me

[Isinatra in reply to Jefner]

I don’t understand your response. It’s not an individual experience or your doctor doesn’t understand an individuals needs? Have you already discussed your concerns to your doctor and he can’t help you?

[Jefner in reply to Isinatra]

i am asking in particular to that brand

[Isinatra in reply to Jefner]

I understand, Jefner. I was trying to make it easier for you to find the answer to your concern. A consult with your pharmacist might help. Just a phone call away. 😊

I had this issue when I was taking klonopin and then was switched to the generic versions. The different generic versions were different colors so the coloring ingredients are different and some people can apparently have allergy issues with that otherwise the rest of the ingredients are all supposed to be the same.

how long and what dose are you prescribed for diazepam. This drug really helps me but I’m scared I’ll get dependant on them and won’t be prescribed any more
