Yes - i was prescribed it as a muscle relaxant after i suffered with spasms in my lower back. I was prescribed 2mg tablets , one to be taken when the spasm started but no more than 3 per day . I took one/day for 3 days and the spasms stopped - so i stopped taking them. However , even on such a low dose i was very argumentative when they were wearing off (or so i'm told !!)

I was prescribed 2mg x 2 for cramp in my leg and also for panic/anxiety attacks in 2003. I found them very good for both problems. I still take 2 if we are travelling any distance as fast motorway speeds freak me. Also if I have to fly and me having been in the RAF for 12 years! LOL.

No side effects

as far as know diazepam generic for valium. i was told it can become habit forming.. years ago i took it for anxitiy. when ativan came out my doctor prescribed it . ( generic is lorazepam) i am still taking it as needed. i have not had any problems. The best thing is to ask your Dr. which one is best for you.

haveva great day.

Thanks for that I have taken lorazepam blue 1mg.

when you ask your Doctor did you get a answer ?

I once ask my Doctor is it better to be angry or feel depress ?

never got answer.

I would like to put the same question to you .

Yours EXPORT.

Export, not an answer to your question exactly but some say depression is anger turned inward.

I guess anger can give energy for change whereas depression often does the opposite, we can feel unable to change things.

Its an interesting question.
