What Is Pax Used For

Updated

My doctor gave me pax 10mg to take twice daily for 'stress' which was causing my 'high blood pressure' to rise very high. Is it safe to take them? And I don't know what the side effects of pax is. I get chronic migraines, and I have chronic osteoarthritis, and I only have half a colon, and the specialist told me it's very important that I must not get constipated. So for these problems I have is it safe to take the pax? And what are the side effects of these tablets? Thank you.

Hello, Lorna! How are you?

Pax 10 is listed as containing 10mgs of Diazepam, which the FDA classifies as a benzodiazepine, so it carries the risk of being habit forming and could cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and irritability.

The main concern that I see is that it has been known to cause constipation in some people that take it. Thus, I think it best if you discuss this with your doctor, before taking it.

Is there anything else I can help with?

I have been on Serdep 100mg once a day for 3 years dis was due to my Dr and therapist diagnosis that I suffer from anxiety based depression disorder. At the time I was still a university and did suffer from depression caused by stress. He medication held. However I am now in the working world and the medication started numbing my senses and this affected my job as I am a financial fraud analyst and taking the pills seem to block my thinking and reasoning and analytical mindset some what. I stopped taking the medication with out telling my Dr but I did level off 50 mmg for 1 month and then 25 mg for 10days. I am now suffering from some brain zaps and disorientation at times also nozia and motion sickness at night when I walk or move. Early last year I also was prescribed 10 tablets of urbanol 10mg to take as needed since I had a hard time coping with work stress and anxiety. Mostly based on long hours and lack of support from management which caused me to feel helpless and hopeless. However I was booked of for a week and after hat I seem to have done fine. I did not use Al of the urbanol during that time and have started taking 5th and another 10mg over the last 2 weeks since I have some extra stress at work and tight deadlines. Also superior from the server withdrawal did not help. I found that he urban of has a added effect of not just eliciting my anxiety and stress with out makemaking me feel numb but also upped my concentration and help eliminate some of my side affect from the serdep withdrawal. My question is regarding urban since I am out and was wondering if I should get a new prescription and how much for how long. I am scared though since I have read about the drug being habit forming and I can see why since it feels to me that even 5mg had an Emilia email effect on me and made me feel 100 times better than the serdep. It also did not stun my own thoughts and help my concentration. Another reason for me going off serdep is that I would like to not be dependant on drug... can you please give me some advice or point me to medical and academic studies that might help me make an informed decision and also inform me on what exactly is happening in my head and with my state of emotions .
