Midazolam Compared to Alternatives

For Light Sedation: Midazolam is the only benzo that put me to sleep 8hrs straight and I would rate it with 10 but I rated it 8 because there is horrible side effect of sleep walking + hunger. I don't mind getting hungry and eat but the thing is that I go to the kitchen like a zombie, I cook and dropped glass/cups on the floor. Its crazy. One day I woke up with my foot all covered in blood and that happened because I dropped a plate on the kitchen and I stepped on it. I don't remember anything. Besides that I love midazolan. I could lock myself in the bedroom but I live alone in a small apartment.

For Light Sedation: Had 4mg midazolam last week while having an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, I have had midazolam three times previously for colonoscopies. It completely relaxed me, and can’t properly remember the procedure so for that I give it 10/10 however I have been crying everyday for a week and have actually just started to feel myself again. I do recommend midazolam just wish they had something else to give you to conquer the crying.

For Anxiety: I was first given Diazepam during a crisis in hospital when I wanted to end my life because of severe anxiety and agitation caused by traumatic early life experiences. They gave me 10mg & it made me so relaxed that the shaking & sweating stopped & I fell asleep really easily, it was like pouring water on a fire. I now take it on as needed basis because it does build up in the body so often I still feel it working 24 hours after my last dosage. I've not noticed any bad withdrawal by doing this.

For Anxiety: Works well, especially with tolerance breaks. Tolerance builds quickly so days off are recommended, usually if larger doses are required 1 day on 2 days off is recommended. Highly addictive and patients with drug abuse and/or addiction/habituation history should be monitored very closely.

For Anxiety: Hi I have bad anxiety daily it has worsened since I stopped taking codeine for pain caused by my tooth. Now I have panic attacks daily. My mind feels dazed and I zone out. I am on on Valium and it calms me down but last night I had a attack and I couldn't calm down my body was calm but my mind was still freaking out thinking I am going to go insane has anyone else felt this

For Anxiety: I had ended up in the ER a few times with weird problems like not being able to catch my breath and hyperventilating before I even new they were panic attacks. They started me on Ativan but it made me so hyper and loopy I literately forgot a few days so when I was put on Valium it was a God send. It prevents and treats panic attacks without the loopy feeling and It doesn't affect my ability to perform daily activities so I'd recommend it to anyone seeking this type of help.
