VALIUM ADDICTION

[shugalug]

I don't see in your forums, anything about prescribed medication addictions. Valium addiction is very common. It would be good to have that added to your list in the addiction forum, and with a safe weaning off plan, for addicted persons wanting to get off this medication.

Thanks you so much for those links for much needed info. I've read these and printed them out to show my prescribing doctor and psychiatrist. This is a great help. I appreciate it so much.

Hi there,

In our Addiction: Substance Abuse forum, we do have members who are dealing with prescription medication addictions.  The information about the forum does state "prescription medications".  Here is a link to that forum.

Also, here are two health pages regarding Valium/Benzodiaepzine addictions and recovery:

Hope that helps!
