Can i take Diazepam that was prescribed in 2006?

[waterhorse]

Still in date

[Bowddee]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !

[NintyZelda]

No way, see your GP again.

[CvQuenched]

have you needed them at all within the last 6 months?
do you need one now?
if they are still in date then in theory yes as long as they were prescribed for you!

[waterhorse]

Why not?
It was prescribed for me in 2006,had some left over
I need it now

[waterhorse]

Having a horrfic anxiety attack
Has been building all day and been stessed and then something happened at work and now i feel like i am never going to stop this feeling
I cant eat ,sleep

[CvQuenched]

waterhorse if they are date and they are yours then take one with a glass of water and try to get to bed.and obviously as the others say get a gp appointment for a review.they will do you no harm and if you know you need one then you should take one.
sometimes things creep up on us and we are knocked back.its ok

[waterhorse]

They are use by 11/08

[CvQuenched]

thats still in date.
do you still feel like you need one?

[waterhorse]

Thanks btw
Yes still feel i need it

[expatinscotland]

yes

[CvQuenched]

if you want to just get it off your chest im happy to listen.i know too well how this feels.

[Ceolas]

I say yes if it will help, but go see your GP tomorrow about how you're feeling

[Bowddee]

NO Please no. I nearly died doing that!

[expatinscotland]

take one and try to get some sleep.

[expatinscotland]

it's still in date, bowdee.

how many mg's is it?

i hate panic attacks.

[waterhorse]

too late bowdee i took one
shit now i am worried about that

[Ready4anotherCoffee]

they should made so they remain stable way beyond the date.

hope you're feeling better soon

[Ceolas]

What happened bowddee?

[waterhorse]

5mg

[expatinscotland]

that's not a lot.

take one and see how it takes the edge off.

[CvQuenched]

5mg is nothing.it will just take the edge off the attack.make a gp appointment tomorrow though ok.

[expatinscotland]

i've taken diazepam that old that was still in date and prescribed for me for panic attack or insomnia.

no harm done.

DON'T if you've been drinking or using any other drugs, though.

[waterhorse]

CVquenched-I bumped a patients foot(mute) on doorframe whilst i was wheeling them through a door way (didnt mention to anyone because it wasnt much )and now i feel like i have murdered someone.They seemed quiet after and it must be my fault

[Bowddee]

I was prescribed Diazepam in 1994 (ish) and, like the OP I was having a really bad time with anxiety, about 18months later. I found them and took one (as you do) and woke up in hospital with a tube coming out my mouth.

Not good.

They were in one of those little brown bottles, not in a strip so that may have made a difference and I had lost a lot of weight so my physical make-up had changed.

[waterhorse]

am new to job too
