Question
How long dour tou have to be on Valium before you are going to go thru withdrawals aT 10MGS ADAY FOT 10 DAYS?
Dear Doug
It usually takes at least three weeks on most bnzodiazepines before addiction/withdrawal symptoms will occur. However, this is very variable and there is no hard and fast rule. It is unlikely after only ten days and Valium is less addictive than most other drugs in this class.
