I was recently prescribed valium pills to use as suppositories, which I've used three times now, always at night. My muscle spasms are continuing even though I had the LIS surgery last May, so my doctor thought these might help. The first time I used one everything seemed to go okay, although inserting the pill (which is relatively small) was a bit painful, as the pill has rather sharp edges. Despite the pill's small size, I had trouble getting it to stay in.
The second time I used one I put a little vaseline on the pill to combat those sharp edges, and because I thought it would make inserting it easier. Again, I had trouble getting it to stay in, and it fell out during the night. So that pill was completely wasted...
Last night I tried using one again. I thought it stayed in, but this morning when I went to apply my nitro cream, I realized a small part of the pill was still there. It hadn't dissolved, even though it had been in for about 10 hours! I had to go to the bathroom this morning, so I passed what looked to be about half of the pill.
This is really frustrating! I don't get why it didn't dissolve. And I can't believe I'm having so much trouble getting the pill to stay in. Has anyone had similar problems?
