MedHelp Member's Question

how much diazepam

by mimimimi, Mar 15, 2008 12:11PM

my doctor told me to take 5mg of diazepam up to 3 times a day.
i asked on another forum if this was a high dose
ryan here said it was fine
other people have told me its way too high
why do i ask these questions when i get answers that scare me
i should have just listened to my doctor!!!

How do you feel on it? Does it make you too drowsy? Does it just calm you down? To me, it is a very low dose, but if you are new on meds and it is working for you, I'm sure it is fine.

I agree that it is a low dose, but it my just be what is right for you. I'm on 10mgs 3 times a day but when I have a really bad time with my anxiety I take 2 at a time but I have been on it for many years now so 10mgs for me is just a small help but one that is needed in more then just anxiety as I do have other problems

But do as your doc tells you or just cut one in half and see how it dose for you

thanks
