What are the brand names for valium?
Valium is the brand name itself. You can also buy valium online in different brand names in the United States, such as diastat, acudial, and diazepam intensol.
Can a person become addicted to valium?
Valium can lead to addiction or dependency, mainly when you use it at higher doses over a long time. For patients with valium dependency or tolerance, abrupt discontinuation can cause withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, sweating, fatigue, and anxiety.
In more severe cases, seizures can also occur as a symptom of withdrawal. Therefore, after long term use, you should gradually taper the use of valium under a doctor’s supervision.
