Diazepam (
Valium®) can cause withdrawal symptoms if you suddenly stop taking the drug. Some of these symptoms can include
panic attacks, hallucinations, and vomiting. To avoid severe withdrawal from diazepam, your healthcare provider may decide to wean you off the medication slowly.
Do not stop taking this medication without your healthcare provider's approval and supervision, as withdrawal symptoms can be dangerous, even life-threatening.
