I have GAD. This morning I took 2.5mg. of valium and waited an hour and nothing. So, I took the other 2.5 mg. 2 hours later, whoa..... quite sedated! I have to be someplace this evening so I'm hoping that the effects will ease up just a bit.
Is this normal? I guess I should have waited longer on the 2.5mg. but from all I've read, it takes anywhere from 20 min. to one hour to get full effect and when I felt nothing after an hour, I took the other half.
I feel better as far as my anxiety and I'm actually hungry. I get anxiety induced nausea and I don't do well with SSRI's.
