Is myopathy a side effect of DIAZEPAM ? ( FactMed.com )

About this FactMed analysis covering adverse side effect reports of DIAZEPAM patients who developed myopathy.

FactMed provides MD-approved analysis to help both patients, researchers, and physicians accurately assess the risk profile for more than 20,000 different pharmaceutical products. The below report offers compiled information from Food & Drug Administration and FactMed user submissions. Between January 2004 and October 2012, 43 individuals taking DIAZEPAM reported myopathy to the FDA. A total of 24938 DIAZEPAM drug adverse event reaction reports were made with the FDA during this time period. Often the FDA only receives reports of the most critical and severe cases; these numbers may therefore underrepresent the complication rate of the medication.

FDA Research Report

Introduction This page is designed to help you determine the relationship, if any, between DIAZEPAM and myopathy. In doing so, we compare DIAZEPAM with other drugs that cause myopathy, to help you evaluate whether or not DIAZEPAM causes myopathy. Likewise, this page shows the most highly-reported side effects of DIAZEPAM, so you can see if myopathy ranks among DIAZEPAM's most well-known side effects.

QUESTION DRUG INTERACTION	I'm on an opiate detox, using methadone for 10 days lowering the dose daily. Also for the 1st 3days I'm using 5mgdiazepam 3 times daily and also wwn the methadone stops I plan to use doazepam again 3 times a day at 5mg a time and lower the dosage daily until it is 0 ...my question is...this safe? As I'm on day 2 now and on top of this I've used the odd diclofenac for back pain and the odd tramadol plus if over struggled to sleep I've used 10 or 20mg of oxazepam at bedtime, and if I've felt sick I've had a buscopan..not often but being so early in detox I don't want to take too many different meds that may cause bad side effects or even further addictions that I'm trying to free myself from. I'm healthy n well in every other area...only the addiction to heroin n crack is wat I'm trying to free myself from now and want to make sure I'm not risking my life by using these meds...it will takje 3 weeks in total to be med free so do u think I'm going about it correctly or do u have any advise for me about anything I've mentioned? I don't have a doctor here as I. Just moved to Holland and can't afford it so the meds I have I've brought with me so once they run out I don't want another addiction to beat.y email is michelle.narconon@gmail.com if u want to wrote to me personally or post on here?

QUESTION FEELING COLD	Ativan and xanax are antianxiolytics, but are extermely addictive. They work very well to quell anxiety but you build a tolerance that requires a higher dose in a very short period of time. Any good doctor will only prescribe these meds for short term use and will suggest you get some counselling help to learn how to control your anxiety. Long term that's your best bet it seems if you are self talking already, that's a start. The antidepressant paxil is good for social anxiety and might be what you need. It's not addictive and I've seen it make a huge difference in a few of my friends lives who were becoming rather reclusive because of post menopausal anxiety. Best of luck to you.	2016-02-13 15:21:36
