Valium History and Info

On November 15, 2013 Valium marked its 50th anniversary. Diazepam was introduced as the generic version after Valium’s patent expired in 1985. Approved by the FDA in 1963, the drug was marketed to ‘reduce psychic tension’ and went on to become the Western world’s most widely prescribed solution for anxiety. Valium was also the first drug to reach $1 billion in sales and is marketed in over 500 brands around the world, including a nerve agent antidote the United States military employs.

 

As early as 1964 medical experts became alarmed about Valium’s addictive potential. In 1975 Vogue ran a story entitled “Danger ahead! Valium – The Pill You Love Can Turn on You,” warning that dependence could result in a ‘far worse addiction than heroin.”

 

Valium binds to GABA, the most prevalent calming neurotransmitter of the body. Initially the drug eases tension and anxiety, improving sleep. With continued use Valium down-regulates the GABA receptors, requiring a higher dose of the drug to achieve the calming effects. This is known as tolerance and once it occurs the sedative qualities of the drug diminishes while anxiety, insomnia, sensitivity to stress, and many other symptoms increase. This hyper-excited and altered state of GABA is responsible for the widespread and debilitating withdrawal symptoms that occur if Valium is withdrawn too rapidly.

 

Valium is highly addictive and recommended for short term use only, with both a psychological and physical addiction occurring.

 

Valium is the longest acting Benzodiazepine and has a half-life of 1-3 days (depending on individual metabolism), but peak plasma levels occur within 30-90 minutes. For this reason, many will convert from the shorter-acting benzos to Valium to taper. However, it depends on how an individual metabolizes Valium as it can cause over-sedation, increased pain and depression if they are a poor metabolizer.

 

Our nonprofit has been helping benzodiazepine dependent people for over 11 years. We do a thorough Follow-up with each client to help you make the proper decisions for your taper and guide you throughout the process. 

Valium Withdrawal does not have to be frightening. We utilize an all-natural approach to ease symptoms, combined with a slow-titration schedule and provide the encouragement you need to succeed.  You don’t have to do this alone and it can be done in the privacy of your own home.
