Diazepam

Diazepam is an effective drug to provide short term treatment for anxiety, muscle spasms, and seizures. Sometimes, the drug is used to treat even alcohol withdrawal symptoms. The drug works to sedate the person inducing calmness by increasing the efficiency of GABA neurotransmitters. It relaxes the muscles and even controls the involuntary movements of the body caused by chemical reactions in the nerves due to panic.

Normally, the drug is prescribed for the short term use only as it can risk the tolerance or dependence in the patients. Although it’s effective and safe for a limited time use, Diazepam still has side effects like dizziness, drowsiness, lack of muscle coordination,or  fatigue. These are mild and common side effects which can be worn off easily.
