Dear Old Geezer

Temazepam and Diazepam and also Valium are from the same family - benzodiazepines.

I was also recommended to take them for back pain. They are also used in dentistry to sedate nervous patients.

Muffy you smackhead lol lol xx

Tee hee........I took the three a day lol

But I have a very low pain threshold..........

Just picked the packet up again and I got it wrong there are six tablets - and it says to take one up to three times a day - so only really three days worth if he takes three a day
OH has just said he is only going to take one day for three days and see if they help, he doesn't want to be spaced out lol

ha ha ha ha

*whispers* will do hon pmsl xx

Muffy give me your address............................lol i got tons.

I was smacked off my wotsits for the first two days......what with the combo of other painkillers i was on too.....then sadly it wore off pmsl xx

no i joking really,
it will help him a lot, honest,
he wont get aaddicted, though its easy to see how some do,
i didnt like the space out feeling i got,

Diazipan is used for muscle relaxing, but like most tablets have various uses, once i was seeing doctor for severs migranes and he gave me some tablets to try, once i got tablets home and read the instructions they were antidepressants, anyway when i phoned doctor and said i'm not depressed he explained they had multipal uses just wish he done that in first place.

Mac I thought the same as you and that it was used to just treat anxiety and severe depression - when I saw them I thought my OH wasnt telling me something !

Jessie, years ago, when I used to suffer PMT, I would get slight muscle spasms in my shoulder for a day or so. I went to the doctor and was prescribed Diazepam then.

To say I was shocked is an understatement, and the chemist filling me prescription went on about the addictive qualities, and the need to come off them as soon as I felt able to. I explained it was for mild muscle spasm in the shoulder during PMT...he advised I don't take them at all LOL.

Opposite prob Jessie........makes you a bit bunged up so he'll be safe with you hon LOLOL

Hope he feels better soon.......back pain is awful :0(

***sent you a pm cos it's a bit .........er ........delicate to explain myself properly pmsl x

Muffy if he gets that relaxed he can go in the other bedroom !!! lol


Will tell him to take one tonight and see how it helps - poor old bugger is really suffering ( Men !!)


PMSL at granny Grumps lol - you go girl
x

I am on them also Tramadole and diclofenic, some days i don't even know which planet i'm on but hey as long as it keeps the pain away who cares.

Thankyou ladies - and Jane's OH -
It has put my mind at rest and I will ley OH know - I'm sure you can imagine my shock walking in from work and finding Diazepam on the kitchen side !!

Just checked and Doctor has only given OH four tablets

x

I was on them for 5 days Jessie when my back went a few weeks back.

They do work as they make you drowsy so it's a tad easier to get comfy enough to sleep.....

Only thing is.......if he DOES take them........get him to watch his bowel movements after as they relax the muscles there as well :0(

jessie your hubby has mmy sympathy
i suffer muscle spasm in back and neck,
causes headaches severe too,
i got to point where id have taken anything,

doc gave me diazepam, (i work in pharmacy too and was a bit nervous of taking um, but as i say id have taken anything)
they were great,
helped me relax, and rest,
i did have to have um increased to 5mg
but only taken when attack bad, not on regular basis

Yes Jessie its widley used as a muscle relaxant,,if the doc thought it wasnt compatible with an ulcer sufferer it wouldnt be prescribed,

Yes it is fine.No need to worry .Have just asked OH GP.
