Diazepam
 

So my daughter were hospitalized yesterday with breathing problems and had a shitty doctor basically kicking my wife and daughter out of the hospital this morning saying my daughter is a hypochondriac and sent her home with a bag of 2mg Diazepam pills to calm our daughter down.

I looked up Diazepam on the interweb and its some serious shit, why would a doctor give that to a 25kg, 10 year old girl.

We are going back to the hospital tomorrow raising some serious shit because the way they treated my wife and my baby I won't accept that and I don't care care how old you are or your education. I just want whats right, and if our baby is not getting better in the nxt 24 hours is the next hospital.

diazepam=vallium

I hope your daughter gets better Michael O

I love Diazepam I take kit when I am bored

Like them to too.. kind of like Xanax or Klonopin but god damn giving them to a 10 year old kid, thats a unreal doctor

It is a well known drug similiar to Xanax. It has a strong calming effect and it can make you sleepy. I like it, helps me when I am nervous but definitely not for children.

If you're still in Thailand it is a loss cause (bitching with the hospital). Best you can do is get on the expat boards and find a doctor who specializes in children and go see that doctor. The hillbilly doctors in your neck of the woods are generally worthless and will push pills faster than you can pay for them. Some even have fake medical degrees that they paid for but didn't go to school for. Yes, really. They seem to get away with it up country a lot more than in the cities. They usually catch a few fake docs every year.

You MUST do your homework on EVERY pill they give her and EVERYTHING they say. Look it up right there at the hospital before you pay for it.

Change hospitals ASAP if you think it is serious. And get a 2nd opinion ALWAYS when it comes to these monkeys.

Good luck.

this is me on valium

Ya that is what I was going to say.
Pretty odd why it was prescribed but I am not a Dr..

If you are abroad and need some medical advise please email me. I can put you in touch with someone who might be able to help

They gave her Valium? The last thing you want is her to become addicted to that shit. Seek a 2nd opinion quickly.

One side affect of Valium is weak or shallow breathing, not sure why they would give that to a child with breathing problems

2mg is not all that much.

It is to a 25kg, 10 year old girl.

crazy to give that to a kid

2mg of Valium is a very low dose.

Adult dose is 10mg.

Hypochondria = sort of panic attack.

She was prescribe Valium to calm her down.

Cause he's an idiot. Sorry. Go for second opinion. It really is some serious shit.

You are all fucking idiots. During hospital stay they prescribe benzos to virtually everyone.

It's not "serious shit".

Really now.. You are such a charmer. Ever heard of benzo tolerance and benzo physical dependence? You really think that's good for 10year old? :321GFY

You develop tolerance/dependence if you take it every day for a month or more.

A few days of 2mg is nothing.

Could be. So I thought second opinion won't hurt.

2mg is very very low, but for child is norm, I like diazepam, I had serious problems with the nerves and after 5 mg treatment I cured.

Lichen is right, 2mg is nothing, a cup of chamomile tea is more sedating than 2mg valium... I would do what the doctor suggested, but if you are concerned give her half the dose (1mg) for a couple of days, and see what happens...

She'd feel it, but still a very low dose especially if she's recently ate any protein or drank any liquids like milk. I was a caregiver for 6 years of my life.

It does not cure, it only suppresses.

Definately dont listen to the doctor and take the advice of gfy.

Give her 2 bitcoins and she will be fine.

That's crazy. This drug is a hardcore solution for a child. I hate psychiatrists. They think they are gods and they can read minds, and all they can do is drug people to live like a vegetable. They don't cure anyone. They fuck with people.

I'm not sure about the condition of your daughter, maybe she has some physical problem, maybe she has some kind of psychological problem.

When I was a kid, I had a condition like paranoia where I truly believed that I was sick. So after visiting several doctors and making several tests, I finally accepted the truth that I was ok and that was a creation of my mind.

No matter what she is facing, Diazepam don't cure anyone. Just dope.

---

Hypochondria, sometimes referred to as health phobia or health anxiety, refers to excessive preoccupancy or worry about having a serious illness.

Why would you want to go and have an argument and waste your time and not try for a second opinion?

Get a second opinion, put health as your priority, then go and have an argument for ego

It sounds like being overanxious runs in the family.

Don't give you kid diazepam! That shit really making black holes in brain.

It's better to smoke one joint than to take a diazepam ... that shit will make you depressed

And the hardcore hangover next day sucks too, that shit is horrible. Makes me feel like I have weights tied to me feet.

This is a pretty small dose and she won't mix it with alcohol like most of the folks who mentioned it above.

I weight 70KG an If I take 5mg of valium it knocks me out and I feel groggy the next day.
I respect you were a care giver.

you guys are nuts start using more drugs

Definitely check with another doctor.

I always check the medication before anyone is allowed to take any medication because you can't see a doctor here without coming home with 7 different kind of pills. This is supposed to be the best hospital in town and is not cheap by Thai standards.

She is better today but if she get worse we will head to the next town (Ubon) which is a lot bigger than here and I am told they have some pretty good hospitals.

hope your daughter get's well don't wish anything bad upon anyone or their kids

Very true -

I'm prescribed it for the 3 slipped discs in my back/neck - it helps by supposedly relaxing the muscles so I guess I can see where you doctor was coming from - but they do like to medicate kids these days :(

During a bad week if I take the dose as stated by my GP - by day 5 I'm pretty down and low with just the edge taken off the pain.

:1orglaugh

Seriously though, its one of the most commonly prescribed drugs in history and 2mg is very low, even for a child.

I just bought 20 xanax 1.0mg pills today, 600 baht :)

But ya, I agree that is messed up to put a 10yo on Valium already.

A more popular muscle relaxer in the states is: Cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril). It's a skeletal muscle relaxant and not a benzodiazepine (Valium, Xanax)

You better stockpile, starting June Xanax stops being a controlled substance and becomes a banned one in Thailand.

The decree sets June 17 as the date on which ALL sale, manufacture and import of the drug will be banned. so no more Xiemed, at least not at current prices.

I'll miss it for my long haul flights and hangovers. Or maybe the decision has been reversed already TIT.

I honestly can't believe some of you think it is OK to give a kid Valium. :helpme

Go to the biggest hospital wherever you are and ask for "stilnox." It is generic Ambien. EXCELLENT for flights. If memory serves you are in Pattaya. If so, Memorial has it. It is expensive, but you can cut a pill in half and it will probably put you down. It does me anyway. But don't take it for too long (as in months on end).

One pharmacist said the hospitals will still be able to get Xanax, it's just the pharmacies that can't. Oddly, the pharmacies can still sell Valium and a few others. As usual, Thailand defies all logic. But yea, stock up just in case.

Damn, sorry to hear that, hope it all works out Michael

Take the valiums yourself and call another doctor.

Time to go back to Denmark?
On a serious note, a breathing problem, hey, may be it's asthma?

:( really sad.

If he gave u 2mg's, cut in 1/4's or 1/2's. He just saved you from having to fill the script more often. Its really not that big of a deal. Just take a step back and look at it from that perspective. What is raising hell at a hospital going to accomplish? You push and theyre going to push back harder.

They gave her a medication which is used to treat that issue. Its only meant to be used in cases where she urgently needs it. Its not like shes going to be abusing the stuff or even have that outlet...shes 10.
