Anyone got any experiences with it?
I'm on it short term for sleeping, but I've read it can also help with anxiety problems & also withdrawal symptoms(I have just come off Tramadol very recently and I am unsure if I'm still going through the withdrawal, my dr said looks like I may have (yet another) virus) so I may be killing 2 birds with 1 stone, I have 8 tablets so very short term but still! So yeah. x |

I've only been on Diazepam when I was withdrawing from alcohol, and on way higher doses. It is used in detoxing people who are at risk of seizure from alcohol withdrawal. Even at 100 mg a day it didn't knock me out, but I have a very high tolerance for the benzos.
5mg is a fairly high dose though for most people, so it should help with sleep and most definitely with anxiety. but it can be addictive which is why most docs don't like to prescribe it long term, or dispense more than a few pills at a time. And whatever you do, do not take with alcohol. --splitimage

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
