Valium Withdrawal and Valium Side Effects
You may know from experience that a single Valium withdrawal side effect can
be horrifying. And if you, or anyone you know, have ever had a bad
withdrawal experience you would probably rather sign up for open-heart
surgery without anesthesia than suffer those side effects again. And for
this very reason, many people who have contacted The Road Back are gun shy
at the very thought of withdrawing from Valium.
Before The Road Back Program you
were faced with a quandary: suffer the Valium side effects, or gut it out
and suffer the side effects of withdrawal.
The left side of each page has all chapters of How to Get Off
Psychiatric Drugs safely 2010 Edition.
The Road Back Program eliminates these worries and concerns by reducing to
almost zero the side effects of withdrawal, so that you can come off the
Valium smoothly and easily.
The following list is broken down into categories, covering the various
areas of the body, such as the nervous system, lymph system, emotional and
mental symptoms and so forth. These categories will make it easier for you
to find the part of the body or system that you are interested in, or want
to know more about.
You will find the Valium side effects first, followed by the side effects
associated with antidepressants.
In this list you will find many physical ailments and complaints, as well as
emotional or mental symptoms that people experience every day because of a
specific medical condition. These symptoms and ailments may be the reason
that you started Valium, or conversely, the Valium may actually be causing
the negative symptoms you are experiencing now.
This unknown catches almost everyone, doctor and patient alike, off guard.
So the question that needs to be answered in order for you to proceed with
The Road Back Program is: Are you dealing with a physical condition that
needs to be treated medically or with a by-product symptom of the Valium?
Getting Your Doctor’s Approval
Because of the overload and damage potentially caused by Valium, your body
in general, and your immune system in particular, are in a weakened
condition, and can thus leave you open to infections and disease. On the
other hand, you may be taking prescription medications for actual physical
conditions, which could be contra-indicated in terms of doing The Road Back
Program. These could include blood thinners and heart medication, as well as
clotting agents.
Products used in The Road Back Program include Omega 3 and Vitamin E, which
could both be contra-indicated if taking heart medications or blood
thinners. Additionally, some of the products contain naturally occurring,
(not synthetic) high levels of Vitamin K, which could be contra-indicated if
taking any type of blood clotting medication.
For these reasons, consult your doctor before starting
any part of this program to sort out, or discover and correctly determine,
whether you are a candidate for The Road Back Program.
After you have ruled out any real medical problem, you will know that
if any strange symptom begins during The Road Back Program, you are most
likely experiencing something caused by the Valium. Such will be true for
both emotional and physical symptoms.
As you read through the list of side effects, make a mark by any that you
are currently experiencing. It would be a good idea to rate the severity of
the side effect as well by using a 1-10 scale. I suggest you use the number
1 as being extreme and 10 as extremely mild.

A Note from the Founder
This book is written for individuals, pharmacists and healthcare providers,
How to Get Off Valium Safely is
specific to Valium. Thousands of people around the world are using this
information every day in their battle to successfully free themselves of
debilitating psychiatric drug side effects.
I do hope you found this book before attempting to stop Valium. I also hope you
have found this book before switching to Valium because another benzodiazepine
was too difficult to taper. Switching to Valium due to another benzodiazepine
being hard to taper off, only accomplishes a possible masking of the side
effects from the other benzodiazepine and you will now have Valium to deal with.
This switching to Valium theory is often recommended because Valium has a longer
half-life. The longer half-life is true but I have worked with thousands of
people over the years where this approach simply made things worse.
If the Valium switch-over is the case for you, you can still make it through the
taper but you ultimately will need to handle the residual side effects from the
other benzodiazepine that was reduced extremely fast or was stopped cold turkey.
Valium can be an easy benzodiazepine to taper off, as long as you taper
correctly. It does not matter what dosage of Valium you are taking or the length
of time on Valium, the taper can be very simple.
If you have tried to get off Valium in the past and suffered, have found this
book in the middle of your Valium taper or quit Valium cold turkey, you have a
little more work to do than most, but the success will still be there.
As you may now know, Valium is an addictive drug. Clinical trials have shown the
addiction to be dose dependant as well as length of time on Valium. Our findings
show otherwise. A 4 mg dose each day for 6 months is not required for Valium
addiction.
If this program is being used with a child only use the Slow and Gradual Taper
chapter to reduce the Valium. Keep in mind a child may not communicate as easily
as an adult and they may not express how they feel in the same manner.
One key thing to watch for in a child using this program is for laughter when
they have not laughed for some time and for the child to begin doing positive
things once again that they love.
Valium does not know the age of the person taking it and the myth that a person
over 24 years of age will not show certain Valium side effects is completely
false.
I want to acknowledge the many of people, from the four corners of Earth and all
walks of life, who have successfully come off Valium using this program. Their
perseverance and feedback have helped advance this program to today’s high
degree of success.
And I applaud you, opening this book for the first time, for your courage and
resolve to change your life and get yourself back as your reward.
I understand the apprehension you may feel about deciding to come off Valium,
especially if you have tried to do so before and failed, or if you have heard
horror stories of others who have tried to come off Valium.
Further, I understand the questions you might be asking at this point:
-
Will I
experience mental or physical pain
while
on this program?
-
Will I have other side effects while
on this program?
-
Will the Valium side effects get worse
before they get better?
-
Will my depression get worse during
this program?
-
Will my anxiety levels increase?
You may have many other questions in addition to those above, but most
importantly you should know that I have formulated The Road Back Program to be
virtually side effect free. The testament to this, as you will see throughout
the book, is that people just like you start to feel better, both mentally and
physically, from day one.
The Road Back Program is set-up so that you
only start reducing the Valium after you feel a major positive change and all or
nearly all existing side effects from the Valium are eliminated. Thus, you know
from the very beginning change is possible, that this time there is a chance for
you, and that you can do this and
feel well once again. That’s why I have called it “The Road Back” – it is a
route that will take you back where you want to be.
The Road Back Program is simple, effective, and extremely powerful: when applied
correctly. You too can have resounding success in getting off Valium and getting
your life back.
Based on extensive research, specific supplements have been formulated for
this program. Their use, in conjunction with the full and complete Road Back
Program, have resulted in an estimated 80% success rate of people getting off
their psychiatric medications, while also enormously reducing the potential and
feared side effects from withdrawal.
What unwanted feelings come from you and what feelings does Valium generate? The
Road Back Program separates these confusing symptoms, and once this separation
occurs, the real you emerges.
One major change most people experience with The Road Back; their reach for life
returns or truly begins for the first time. Reach is defined as: to extend out;
to touch or to seize; to communicate with.
Life is defined as: the quality that distinguishes a
vital and functional
being from a dead body or inanimate matter (Webster’s Dictionary). Per the
definition of life, you are vital. We need you and humankind needs you.
The positive changes you can bring to others are beyond imagining. Life can be
grand, life can be fulfilling; you, changing your life and having “reach” return
will absolutely affect others in your environment.
Reach can return with your children, spouse, work or activities you have been
putting off for years that you have always wanted to do, or to do once again.
Remember and hold the following close to your heart as you travel The Road Back:
As you read this book, perhaps you might be thinking “...this sounds good for
others...” or “...others can make it, but not me...” Believe me, I am referring
directly to you.
My best to you in your journey,
Jim Harper
