You are happily substituting one substance with another. In other words, you probably have an addictive personality for various reasons and may need top enter a rehabilitation program to completely deal with the issue of addiction. All these substances are known to cause damage to your system and are therefore ill-advised.

Already another doctor answered that it may be a sleep disorder. You need to get diagnosed and assessed properly by a psychiatrist.
Both diazepam and clonazepam are of the same group of drugs called benzodiazepine. Both have addiction potential in vulnerable persons. The sedation is for longer time in diazepam than clonazepam. Both are dose dependent. Knowing these, if you still want a benzodiazepine only, clonazepam is better, because it acts only for 6-8 hours.

All these medicines is no solution to sleep. Relief is only temporary and mostly habit forming, requiring higher dose and multiple drugs. Consult an experience psychiatrist for systematic withdrawing of drugs. More of counselling and mind realxing techniques and yoga etc.

Accordingly diazepam or any other benzodiazepine is prescribed for the first 2-3 weeks. Taking diazepam is not risky. It may be even life saving. But for what reason it is taken and for how long she needs to take depends on the doctor's assessment.

Dear lybrate-user, diazepam has some role in reducing the severity the severity of tinnitus but smoking cannabis completely reverses that role. Moreover tinnitus is just a symptom, you need to consult a ent specialist so that a diagnosis can be made ,only then can treatment be started. As far as smoking cannabis is concerned your tinnitus will never be cured unless you completely give it up.

Diazepam, is to treat alcohol withdrawal and should not be mixed with her drinks. From your description and her usage of other substances, I suggest that you admit her in a rehabilitation center. It will be difficult for her to handle this condition on her own or in the surroundings of her home: she has gotten conditioned to the environment and there will be too many stimulants around her making it really difficult. In the rehabilitation center they will consider her requirements for medication ...more
