Had an injury yesterday. Definitely have a concussion. but for the past 2 months Ive been tapering off valium.
Now on the forum it says valium is not good to take with a concussion but - Ive been tapering off it and am on a low dose. Is it necessary to stop completely now and go through withdrawal along with concussion symptoms or should I continue the taper? Pretty damn confused and could use some feedback. Thanks |

Finish tapering off the Valium as you were already doing.

12 days since my concussion and honestly - my anxiety is overwhelming. And theres the fear that continuing on valium is going to harm me in some way.
I guess thats the anxiety - and I cant shake it. Sorry to keep posting the same stuff in the forum. I keep reading too many about how benzos are bad and Im scared. Its a vicious circle. |

Your current dose of Valium is very low. The bad time for benzos is during the first few days.
That is history. You were at a low dose during your impact. Move on with your life.
