"I was given the generic equivalent of Valium prior to a closed MRI as I am claustrophobic. It did not completely relax me during the protracted procedure, however, it did help to some degree. I only took a 5mg dose; if I were to have to undergo this procedure in the future, I would take a 10mg dose. One 5mg pill, however, does help me greatly when I experience bouts of insomnia."

"Been attempting to get an MRI done on my neck. I told my Dr I'm claustrophobic so my first attempt at getting the MRI without anything failed miserably. Dr then prescribed Diazepam 5mg to take 1/2 hour before my next MRI. Took as directed, checked into my apt still feeling nervous, get to the MRI machine still feeling nervous, get in the MRI machine and after the first image I asked to be pulled out so I could try and stop shaking uncontrollably. Ended up crying, shaking, and couldn't complete the MRI. This stuff is garbage and now my day is shot from not only still having a panic attack, but because now I have a migraine from the MRI machine giving me muscle spasms. I don't take any other medication except my pain meds as directed so you'd think this stuff would work. Am I the only one this stuff doesn't work on??"

Valium (diazepam) "Valium helped relieve tension and anxiety prior to a endoscopic procedure and a colonoscopy. It caused no side-effects other then a slight amount of drowsiness."
