Valium.

Valium (diazepam) has been specially designed for the needs of people suffering from major symptoms of depression and anxiety. Valium is FDA pregnancy category D. This category is given to medical products that are known to cause serious birth defects in unborn babies. You must tell your health care provider about the fact of being pregnant before starting the treatment to make sure your baby is unharmed. You will most likely be recommended an alternative. Tell your doctor if you have seizures, mental illness, kidney or liver disease, suicidal thoughts, a history of drug or alcohol addiction, depression, or breathing problems, as any of those conditions can also make your treatment unsafe. It's important to let your doctor know if you are using any other medications besides Valium – especially asthma meds, contraceptives, fluoxetine, antihistamines, ketoconazole, muscle relaxants, tranquilizers, sleeping pills, sedatives, vitamins, medications for depression, pain medications, colds and allergies meds, cimetidine, or probenecid, as interactions have been reported. Your doctor will need to be notified if you get any serious side effects, such as fine tremor, severe skin rash, fever, irregular heartbeat, seizures, or difficulty breathing, as they may mean you need a dose adjustment.
