Can withdrawal from valium can give physical symptoms? Posted: 10-08-07 07:38am
Was
feeling much better on the valium and
prozac but since they have been reduced,
got aching all over body, still the
painful boobs, and generally feel awful.
keeping busy but just so down with all of
this.
Does anyone know if withdrawal from valium
can give physical symptoms like painful
boobs etc.,
hugs to all of you.

Any time you decrease the dose of a
benzodiazpam (valium, Xanax, etc....You
will go through some withdrawl. I know
cause Been There, Done That. My
neurologist took me off of 2mg of Zanax 3
times a day and put me on 0.25mg of
Klonopin three times a day.. By day two I
was climbing the walls. Had to call my PCP
and she agreed, way to much of a drastic
drop. I now take 1mg of Klonopin 3 times a
day. What a difference. I would diffenatly
call you doc and tell him/her what is
going on. From what I have been told,
benzo's have to gradually be decreased in
doseage. I would call. At least let the
doc know what you are going through.
