My doctor has prescribed ultram and flexeril for leg pains. I also take lovestatin for high cholesteral and xanax for anxiety. My question is...could my doctor safely replace the xanax with valium along with these three other prescriptions?
In general, valium can be used in most situations in place of xanax, assuming equivalent dosing with the exception of a few isolated situations. This needs to be done carefully, though, to minimize any difficulties on the changeover from xanax to valium.
