Brief Answer:
valium can be taken along with Zubsolv

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Valium can be taken together with Zubsolv in therapeutic dose range. The effective dose of valium for anxiety is 5-10 mg.

As you know valium is prescription only medication you will need to contact your doctor for buying this from pharmacy.

It is also important to note that there is addiction potential with valium and I request you to cut short the use of valium.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to contact me again.
Thanks and regards.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.

If you are on Zubsolv for just one week I think cold turkey is better option.

In case it is for long time I will request you to mention dosage of it.

I do not recommend use of pain medicine for withdrawal after 7 days of zubsolv use.

I hope this helps you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I am glad to know that the information was useful and you felt at ease while interacting with me.

I understand that withdrawals are sometime severe and you may need to miss work but in case you go for percocet, in future we will face probably same problem.

I do not mean that you need to suffer with pain while withdrawing but in my opinion it will be easy to stop at this stage.

I hope this answers you further.

Last ? After years of oxy use 5 days off cold turkey then used for 2 days then hot on zubsolv now 7-8 days. If i get off by cold turkey will my body be done with oxy withdrawls? So only have zubsolv with drawls? And if i dis take oxy during the withdrawls mild to help say 2 a day for 5 days. Will i then have oxy withdrawls in 5 days

Brief Answer:
Possibility is there

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

The information provided above is additional and clarifies the reason for being on Zubslov.

With this information I feel you can stop it cold turkey and oxycodone can be taken on need basis. Please note that it is important to minimize the intake as this will not lead to addiction and withdrawals.

Since almost 15 days passed after the last use of oxycodone the withdrawal has already been done and there is no need to worry at this stage.

I hope this helps you further.
Thanks and regards.
