What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Right Hand While On Diazepam?

Hi, Over the past 10days I started to experience tingling in my right hand radiating up my forearm. It has progressed to my feet and legs although is intermittent. I work in a high stress environment and have been taking diazepam off and on for a year. I am very worried about MS, although I am very fit, exercise regularly and not a smoker or heavy drinker. I have no loss of cordination or balance or any other symptoms ?

Hi,

Diazepam or valium causes muscle relaxation and also good sleep by the same mechanism. This affect is the side effect of dyszeoam. It's not good to take for long time without doctors prescription. That's why it is a controlled drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mutuma Geoffrey Zambezi
