Vaginal Valium Suppositories

Hi there,

Just wanted to share that I have been on valium for over a week now... and I have really seen an improvement in my VV flares. I take them vaginally at night right before I go to bed. Normally, I will have my worst VV flare in the morning after I first go to the bathroom... but I've noticed that those flares have lessened... also, the flares I commonly get now are a slight discomfort...kind of like fuzz/numbness or something being down there, instead of a burning/raw/stinging feeling.

The only negative effects I've encountered so far are... a yeast infection (boo, my first one)... and not being able to do much after I take the valium. The lower half of my body goes numb so I'm pretty much restricted to my bed at that point.

Has anyone else had positive or adverse affects to it? I'm definitely sticking to it for now... just curious if there are other ideas/alternatives.

Thanks,
Mars

I've never even heard of it! Are you from the States?

It sounds pretty interesting. I'd like to know more about how it works though. Does it make you completely dead from the waist down? Not that I can complain about a morning in bed every day, but it wouldn't be too practical for me.

Keep us posted on your updates though!

I know someone who uses valium suppositories for back pain (it's a man so pessaries aren't possible) and he swears by them. I think valium would help my pelvic floor spasm but it would leave me with no support for my joints so isn't an option unfortunately. Great that you're finding it helpful though.

Hi there,

I am in the States... I go to a practice in Philadelphia... it's not like my legs are completely dead... but they feel all tingly and numb. I can definitely still move them... but I also try to stay in bed so that the suppository doesn't slip out or leak. From what I remember from my uro, the valium helps to relax the trigger points and other tight muscles down there (I have PFD). She says that it should not affect being able to orgasm or have sex or anything like that (not that I am active right now!), and since it is not taken orally, it is less addictive.

It is a lil tough cuz I'm a student...so no more studying at night once I take it =P Still trying to figure out a new routine since my night-time routine is taken lol.

Take care,
Mars

Hi my wife also has resently seen a new doctor and he prescribed a valium suppository. But she takes them Rectally every night at bedtime. She also has seen a great improvement in her condition. They are Diazepam 10 Mg suppositories. They also recommended she take Gabapentin 300 Mg pills, but has not taken them because she doesn't need them. The suppositories are doing the helping greatly.

If you read where I have made other entries, you can see many of the things she has tried over the last 12 years of having this condition.

She's seen many different doctors, some just said well you're not 21 anymore, others have tried to help her. But until now most treatments, most pills, creams have not been doing the trick. She still had daily discomfort and pain. A rawness, burning, chaffing. She wasn't able to exercise, walk long distances etc and riding in the vehicle, she needed to sit on a donut & move from one cheek to the other often.

She was told to NOT insert the suppositories in the vagina, the doctor felt that they could do more harm than good that way.

She has had pudendal nerve block injection. She has had pelvic floor treatments. She has tried many different creams, she still uses estradiol cream w/vitamin E base.

We hope this information will help you and others that suffer with this condition. We recommend you ask your doctor before changing the way you use the suppositories, we just want you to know what my wife was told & has been doing and the fact it helps her and she does not get yeast infections this way.

My wife level has dropped from a level seven to a level one or two.

Good luck.

If you cant get vaginal valum rx'd for you just use regular valium about 5-10 mg should be fine. Insert about 2 inches in. I got docs here prescribing it now.

Works well.

I was just Googling Valium pessaries/suppositories when this link showed up, having completely forgotten I'd already talked about it on here.

Anyway, I'd actually forgotten about this and I don't think I've even suggested it to my doctor. So, before I burst through their door next week, excitedly demanding I have a prescription for them, can I ask if anyone from the UK has tried them as a pessary or suppository before (not just a bog standard oral dose), as I'm not entirely sure if you can even get them over here?

I vaguely remember my doctor saying that she wants to avoid anything that will just take the pain away because she doesn't want me to end up having a relationship where my boyfriend can only have sex if his girlfriend is drunk or high, but at this point I don't care if I can even move, as long as I can have some form of sex life and save my relationship I'll do anything!

So, UK'ers... Any luck with these? How did you go about approaching the subject with your GP? Or did you have to get them from a gyno?

Help please!x

That wouldn't make you drunk or high as it wouldn't pass thru your liver.... I can use them whenever and be fine.

Oh yeah, I know that, what I meant was... When I was originally diagnosed and she was discussing what options I have she said she was keen to find something that would work so that I don't have to get drunk or high in order to have sex.

Has anyone had much success with 'numbing' things? I've tried Instillagel (briefly) but found it a hassle and didn't really think it made too much difference to the pain. I might give it another go though to be honest, anything just to be able to try it and not be in agony!

Valium is pretty damned addictive, and 10mg is by no means a low dose. I'm prescribed 2mg for occasional use for premenstrual anxiety attacks or as a muscle relaxant for muscular pain. I spoke to my gynae about it (I'm in Scotland) and she said she'd never heard of it, but since it gets into the bloodstream if uses vaginally, she couldn't see how it would be any less addictive. Can anyone report back on that side of things?

Take them all the.time and can stop whenever I want. I havent needed them in over 3 months and stopped cold turkey. No problems

Hi ladies, I just received these and I was wide ring if you ladies have burning raw pain. My doc ( I'm from phila) gave them to me because of a trigger point that was felt down my right leg. My leg pain comes and goes and is rather have the leg pain from time to time them the burning. Any advice? I'm worried they will make me burn more

Try them and see what happens

I use them rectally also. I was getting more of a vaginitis ish feeling and I think they are even more effective. Maybe they stay in better?
