Can anyone give me some tips on valium?

I have been having awful insomnia and absolutely dreadful palpitations of late, so the doctor prescribed me 7 days worth of 2mg diazepam. I have taken them as directed and they have really worked quite well, and I have managed to get a couple of nights sleep over the last couple of days. The problem is that I am going to run out soon, and my doctor told me in no uncertain terms that I will not be getting any more.

If I was to possibly get some from an internet source, how feasible is it that I could continue taking one a day just before I go to bed each night?

I don't really want to become addicted, but the alternative seems to be insomnia and utterly horrendous palpitations, and I just cannot handle that!
 
I can only relate my own personal experience. I have tried ALL the benzos. None ever gave me a "high" though they did kill my anxiety and I did, as so many do, stay on them too long. There is no worse Hell then getting off this shit. IMO it is NOT worth touching this crap long-term. If you have anxiety, and can exercise self-control - meaning, to me, taking it as needed and never more than a few days at a time - it does work as advertised. I actually chased the benzo "high" I'd heard about, I suppose expecting something like a narcotic buzz. But... no. Now, like most heroin users, I am stuck at taking 20mg a day (spending a year getting down from 40mg a day) and continuing the slow taper... I was on Ativan for two years, and that's where the Hell came in. Getting off that was the worst experience of my life. Personally, I can only suggest finding something else for your buzz. This shit is NOT fun - especially getting off it. Finally, I'll repeat, benzos DO WORK for anxiety and palps and insomnia. That's where this stuff really digs in its heels, though. It's a Catch-22, in that it really does serve a legit medical purpose but that it there is a price to pay if you take it regularly.

Not a good idea.
 
No. Benzos are sooooo addictive and hell to get off. Been there done that three times and my latest attempt has me tapering off several hundred mgs of Valium or the equivalent of Xanax for more than a year now. Did it once cold turkey after only a few weeks of daily use (probably only 50-70mg a day back then) and it was hell and I didn't know what the heck was gling on. Next time I was on a couple of hundred mgs daily and did a rapid hospital detox over two weeks and after that was bedridden for over three weeks in a world of hurt. This time I am going ultra slow under my suboxone dr (dropping like 2mg every few months now) and am down to just 20mg a day.

So basically, no . Benzo dependance can and does happen within a couple of weeks and the withdrawals aren't pretty . I would stop now while your dose is still low and usage short and if you must, take them as needed with lots of time in between. The massively long half life complicates things. Get out of the benzo trap while uou can !
 
Stone84: The problem with this is that the outcome will just be that you'll be suffering from insomnia and palpitations while also being addicted to benzodiazepines. The doc only gave you a 7 day supply for a good reason, daily use of a benzo especially a long acting one like valium, can only end badly.
 
Honestly, a beta blocker such as propanolol is much safer for anxiety and palps. Talk to your dr. Because they don't give me any mental effects, I am able to take them as needed and don't use them unless I feel a panic attack coming on as I don't want my heart getting dependant on them. Consider this option.
 
Don't use beta-blockers for stimulant comedowns though. Can give serious problems cos of alpha-activity going unchecked while beta- is attenuated.

I have bought them just to help with comedowns mainly, i dont think i have anxiety.

I was in your shoes last year some how in 6 weeks i thought it was good idea to be boshing 30mg most days and 50mg some days. I dont know wtf i was thinking it was completely stupid i suppose i had this absurd idea it was helping me, when i ran out of money i thought Ah well i can just stop.. haha not a chance. thats the thing with valium it's so subtle but the Withdrawels are just disgusting.

Im off it now i have been for months like 6 month now almost, i don't crave it in the slightest because its such an intruder on your life and its like living in a mental prison being on that drug.
