About
Valium, or diazepam, is a prescription medication primarily used for anxiety disorders, muscle spasms, and alcohol withdrawal symptoms. As a benzodiazepine, it enhances the effects of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitters, resulting in a calming effect on the central nervous system. However, Valium carries risks of dependency and side effects like drowsiness. It should be obtained through a valid prescription and used under medical supervision.
