Re: Why not Valium?

Jaz,

There's a lot of info out there on the net. The short answer is Valium has a halflife that can be up to 100 hours (including its breakdown metabolites) THis doesn't mean it leaves your body in 100 hours it means that half is left after 100 hours. Xanax is more like 9 hours or shorter. It all goes back to why you are taking them. For short term requirements, xanax doesn't leave you groggy and with a hangover like valium does the next day. And the whole issue of drug testing may impact your choice as well but thats another story. To be straight with you, Valium actually has a faster onset of action than xanax and may be better for panic attacks (if youhave no tolerance or buildup) but those halflives you have to consider.
