Crying
or Very sad 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.

Just my advice!
