Diazepam works by increasing the levels of a calming chemical in the brain called GABA. This can make you feel drowsy, relieve anxiety, stop seizures, or relax tense muscles.
Diazepam is available as a tablet, a solution, and as a concentrate (liquid) to take by mouth. It is usually taken 1 to 4 times a day and may be taken with or without food.
Diazepam can have side effects, including drowsiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, headache, blurred vision, constipation, dry mouth, and difficulty concentrating. More serious side effects include liver damage, respiratory depression, and addiction.
If you are taking diazepam, it is important to talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of this medication. You should also be aware of the signs of overdose, which include slow or shallow breathing, unusual lightheadedness, severe drowsiness/dizziness, and difficulty waking up.
If you have any questions or concerns about diazepam, please talk to your doctor.
