Diazepam for a trapped nerve? Your GP's surname isn't Shipman is it? Better off with voltarol.

You'll probably find it is a much lower dose than used to treat depression.

I was perscribed them a yr ago for siatic nerve and back trouble (along with many other tablets), and have to admit i was a little spaced out at first, but they did help me sleep which was a bonus point, you proberly wont notice them helping you straight away can take 2 weeks as they work like a pain blocker and send a mess to the brain so subside the pain, stick with them as i said they will help, but do NOT stop them with out advice from your doctor, as the effects from "just stopping" can be bad for you as they are highly addictive, good luck with your pain xx

Think the pain will feel better if I sleep better if that makes sense .

I would say continue with the medication your GP has prescribed and if you get side effects then make an appointment to see your GP to explain.

We would all react differently to prescription drugs therefore all of us will have different experiences and no two people are the same.

I would advise never to take any medical advice or listen to horror stories from friends, relatives, people on swinging sites etc as the likelihood is that they are not qualified medical professions and sometimes people think just because they may suffer from a similar thing, it does not automatically mean they are an expert in that field.

Its like the receptionist at a GPs surgery telling a patient who is complaining of headaches to go away and take a couple of paracetemol. Beware the pseudo doctors

Which is why I would recommend talking to a pharmacist first, rather than the GP in the first instance.

Doctors know about the body and the condition.

Pharmacists know about the drugs and how they work in the body.

The side effects experienced whilst taking many types of prescription drugs can often be reduced or eliminated by talking to a pharmacist.

Be careful! I was prescribed codienefor back problems and was on them for quite a while and ended up in all kinds of shite with them from strange side effects to addiction and withdrawal.

If you are only using them short term you should be ok, just keep an eye on how long you will be prescribed to them.

Yes that's a really good point, pharmacists are a fountain of knowledge and certainly more accessible
