A healthcare provider may prescribe
Valium® (
diazepam) 2 mg tablets, liquid, or injections to treat various conditions (such as
anxiety, muscle spasms, and
seizures). However, the dose of Valium your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, such as your age, the medical condition being treated, other medical conditions you may have, and other medications you are currently taking (including vitamins and herbal supplements).
Valium Dose for Anxiety
The recommended dose of
Valium for anxiety treatment is 2 mg to 10 mg, taken two to four times daily, depending on the severity of your symptoms.
Valium Dosage for Muscle Spasms
The recommended dose of Valium for treating muscle spasms is 2 mg to 10 mg, taken three or four times daily.
Valium Dosage for Seizures
The recommended dose for controlling
seizures is 2 mg to 10 mg, taken two to four times daily. Valium is intended to be used along with other seizure medications.
It usually takes several weeks (perhaps even more than a month) before feeling the beneficial
effects of Valium. Try not to be discouraged if the medication does not work right away for you.
