-== Valerian connection? ==
-I have heard that the ''valium'' name is derived from the herb name ''[[valerian (herb)|valerian]]''<br>
-but I do not know whether this is true<br>
-or whether diazepam is chemically related to any active constituent of valerian<br>

-:There seems to be no connection between the herb and the pharmaceutical brand. Valium is an invented name, sounding vaguely yet eerily similar to  [[Librium]] (the the first benzodiazepine to be synthesised in the mid-1950s), the leading tranquiliser at the time of Valium's release. <!-- The hell wid big pharma, save your own soul, no cults, no props except organic ones, and even their efficacy is doubtful (and I don't mean pharma...)--> [[User:MinorProphet|MinorProphet]] ([[User talk:MinorProphet|talk]]) 05:07, 26 August 2013 (UTC)
