I made the switch from xanax to valium very easily. Will it be the same for valium and ativan? I have 5 valium left and its a Saturday afternoon in bad weather and I can't get ahold of my pharamacy. I have a full bottle of ativan though. I don't really have a choice at the moment. I'm just wondering if it will be an easy switch the way it was switching from the xanax.

I have been communicating with my doctor its just the weather has really sucked.

Hi @Mountaindewed - I do not advise making switch of your meds without a doctor's guidance. If you cannot reach your doc by phone, you might call the pharmacy and ask them what the symptoms of withdrawal from Valium are. They could be serious.

My mom has tried contacting the pharamcy a number of times today and she can't get through. The weather has been very bad and the pharamacy we use isn't very good. She's been on hold sometimes for 45 minutes and can't get through. I'll ask her to try again but my doctor may have had the same issue yesterday.

I guess they are already closed. I do have enough Valium for tommorow and if both my pdoc and the pharamcy hurry I'll hopefully get it Monday.

I have 4 left. Which actually gets me through Monday morning. If I cut the last one in half it will be tight but it will get me until early Monday afternoon.

I plan on buying a pill box with AM, noon and PM boxes.
