I was prescribed this medicine about 40 years ago. I had started having severe bouts of restless leg syndrom after my 2nd child was born. They were eespecially bad when flying or 8 hour+ car trips. It always worked very well. I tore my rotator cuffs about 15 years ago. One was repaired but lasted only 3 years. I was getting steroid shots in my shoulders for almost all that time. Then recentl ...

I first used this drug for back spasms. I also drank some whiskey. 20 minutes later, my entire body itched like I had poison ivy. My hands and feet were particularly affected. I wanted to go to urgent care, but I wouldn't have been able to drive. I filled the bathtub with near-scalding water and got in. This allowed me to endure the incredible itching until it subsided in about an hour. I h ...

Have had chronic back and neck pain for years, but because I was so young no one would believe me. Had multiple neck injuries as teen in high school and at that time there were no advanced imaging technologies of today. Years of pain killers only muffled the pain where I could function. Then in ER visit they gave me Valium for 10 days. I dreamed for the first time in years, I was able to get comfortable to get a good night sleep. Now the neurosurgeon is saying its time for surgery . they lessened the muscle relaxer to xanaflex and only sleep 4 hours then wide awake again.

I was prescribed this drug in 1984 and It completely destroyed my health and ruined my life. I became addicted to it and the protracted withdrawal effects lasted years and were absolutely horrific

I am a 26 year old female who has suffered from panic attacks and anxiety since high-school. I got to the point to where I was so anxious that I could not eat and was down to 97lbs. I was on klonopin for a while until my body became immune to it. I started losing more weight and even hair. I was then switched to valium and it is certainly a miracle drug. NO side effects what so ever... I am puttin ...
