Quick valium question....

[Krusher]

How many hours do the effects last typically..I'm using it to fall asleep, but then when I get up later in the night I'm wondering if it's worn off and safe to take more..I don't use the stuff often, but right now I really need it to sleep.

the effects will last thru the next day...if you take enough. if you are not a "wired a" person, take 5 mgs 3 hrs b/f bed. try not to take more than 10. you will feel lethergic in the morning, though, but nothing a good cup of java or tea won't cure.

be careful, you can build up a tolerance and slight addiction to it. i also use it to help me sleep. works great, but for some reason, it makes me crave sweets...
ahhh... sugar, very bad

about 2-3 hours, u should be even more tired when u are coming down so just try to go back to sleep and save it for another night.

I usually take 5mg or 7.5mg depending on my stress level or the anabolic I'm on (taking it with halo and oxymeth is a must for me). If it does wear off, and I have a big day ahead, I'll take 3mg of Melatonin.

I have friends that became really addicted to it, and it took a bunch of valiums to give them the same effect as it did when they first started using them. When I take it, which isn't very often, I'm usually pretty tired from it even the next day.

Peace,

i've been using zoploclone (sp) and that does the trick. It's suposed to be non addictive and easy to get a script for. I shied away from valium because from what I've heard it's very addictive and it will give you a hard rebound effect when coming off.. With zop there is some lethargy in the morn for a little while and when you stop taking it there is a rebound effect that lasts a day or two. I get that when using for 3-5 days or more straight.

Been awhile since I seen you on here bro

as with anything else, you have to taper down, and only take it during a heavy cycle that keeps you from sleeping otherwise. if your on the juice pretty much year round, I would find something else (l tryptophan, mellatonin or the other suggestions on this thread) also, if you get addicted to shit easily, find something else. otherwise, there's nothing wrong with taking a second 5mg dose if you really can't fall back to sleep. all this stuff affects everyone differently, if you wake up groggy, just go back to sleep, but 10 mg isn't gonna kill anyone. (maybe happy gilmore's grandma). hope this helps.

is it roche valium or generic. the generic i get is pretty tame and 10mg works for me. you feel the effects in the morning but it is not really a sluggish feeling, just a mellow "everything is cool" feeling.

If you're taking these for sleeping I would recommend Soma instead. I feel like a million bucks in the morning. Kind of like sleeping on G.

I was taking 10mg a night of a generic to relax and fall asleep. I did have to increase the doglase after a while to get the same effects. It left me feeling groggy for a little while in the morning and hard to get up. When I ran out, I had withdrawls for a few weeks. Mostly I was very irritable and got pissed of really easily, I guess because I was so used to having a drug in me that kept me calm and relaxed. And I had a hard time falling asleep not taking them anymore. It sucked, I'm glad I ran out when I did, too easy to get addicted.

Thanks for the replies bros...I actually ended up taking a total of 5 x 10mg generics last night and I'm still groggy as hell...how stupid am I for not doing my homework first.

Hey Champion, been awhile...how are things?
