How Long Does Symptoms Of Valium Withdrawal Last?

yes, my mother is on Cymbolta 60mg per day. Her doctor had her on Valium 1mg p.r.n. About a month ago, she ran out of her Valium and her primary doctor would not refill it and advised her to go to a pain clinic that they would refill it. She did go talk to her doctor at the pain clinic, but they advised her to go to her primary doctor. As such, she is unable to get that refilled (Valium.) Currently, she is on Cymbolta 60mg qd but it s not working as she claims. She states that she was talking the Cymbolta qd at the same time she was taking the Valium p.r.n and she is not on the Valium. The symptoms she is describing to me sounds like withdrawl from the Valium. She s experiencing shaking inside, nausea, unable to sleep, sweating and some dizziness. After not taking the Valium for almost a month, can she still be having withdrawl symptoms from the Valium?

Hello,

After a period of 3-4 days of acute symptoms, the person will tend to experience a more lengthy withdrawal phase that will continue for 10-14 days in most cases.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
