How Long Can I Take This Medication For Headache?

I have just been prescribed 2mg diazepam 3 times daily and also two 500mg of naprosyn for severe throbbing & hideously painful tension headaches which have come on suddenly after my Mum's funeral (4 days ago) and associated family stresses. How long can I take this combination for?

hi
thanks for using HCM.
i think you take these medicine as and when required basis, as long term use of diazepam is not advisable for these problem. Also you had stress problem and undergoing grief period , in my opinion medicating the normal grief is not advocated. You can take these drug as on required basis specially naprosyn and avoid diazepam if possible.
thanks
