Pharma grade liquid valium

[[...]]

Has anyone had problems w/ pharma grade liquid Valium? It seems my sxs got worst since I started taking it. Maybe it's my imagination but it seems my GI problems and depression has gotten worst.

I've heard of people mentioning this before; however, I don't know if it's true or not. This will be my #1 worry as I taper off valium. Keep me posted. I would love to hear what happens as I might be in the same boat. Bets

Mine lost potentcy over time due to not being stored correctly and caused a big crash . Thats my experience with it , once stabalised will be doing vodka extraction from tablets and a micro taper .

Some people do report having problems with it. I sort of had problems, although I did use it for quite a long with no problems at all. I think they only started because of the same reasons Lockie mentioned above. You do need to be careful how you store it and you do need to check if you have to dispose of it within a particular period time.

 

The LV we have in Australia has to be disposed of after the bottle has been open for 90 days. If there isn't sufficient information on the bottle (as there quite often isn't) ask your pharmacist for a print-off of the information, or just google it. You can usually find all the information on the internet.

 

If I was starting my taper all over again (heaven forbid), I would start out as I finished - using vodka as a solvent.

I am using liquid valium and don't seem to have any problems except taste and it bothers my stomach if i don't dilute it.

Now I only started using it a .8mg V, at a strength of 1ml=1mg (on the bottle it actually says 5ml-5mg, same thing). So I only use .8ml and it still bothers my stomach if I don't dilute it with rice milk or something. I have had worse wd sx but have assumed that was because I have been getting so low in the taper.

I asked the pharmacist about storage and he said room temp is fine ( I live in the north east USA and it is cold here, so inside temp rarely goes above 70F) he said i could keep it in the fridge if i wanted but make sure the cap is on tight so moisture doesn't get in. He said the expiration is 2 years.

Don't forget, they buy it in a big bottle and dispense it to a small container per your prescription. So who knows how long they had it.

The diazepam med in the liquid V is chemically/pharmaceutically the same med as the tablets...there should be no difference in its psychoactive effect/potency.

 

pharma-grade liquid V (at least in the US) uses a glycol-based solvent.  Some folks have a gastro sensitivity to glycol.  However, if you are only using liquid for the "cut" portion of your dose (1mg or less per day), and diluting it either 9:1, or even 99:1, you would have to be extremely sensitive to glycol to be effected.

 

1ml or less of liquid V, diluted, is not likely to have any adverse effect.

Do you think i should switch over to a compound liquid V just to be onthe safe side?

I don't know the answer to that. But I suggest you price them out first. Those pharmacies can be expensive. And they generally don't accept insurance. hugs, Bets

As I said, the active ingredient diazepam in the pharm-grade liquid is the same as found in the tablets, so there should no difference in the psychoactive effect.  It should have no impact on WD sxs, anxiety, depression, etc.

 

And again, it seee ms improbable that 1 mg or less of dilute liqud V could have any real GI impacte.

 

BTW, a compounding pharmacy is very likely to use the same solvent, glycol, as is found in the pharma-grade liquid.  Alcohol and glycol are the 2 most commonly used pharma-solvents.

 

And other have had difficulties with others solvent/suspension agents, including oils and fats, as well as commercial suspension agents like OraPlus/OraSweet.
