I take Valium/diazepam to help with anxiety (was prescribed for anxiety caused by my terrible nicotine withdrawal).

If I take 20mg at 23:30, will I be okay when I wake up for school at 8:30?

And yes, I have some experience with benzos, used to use alot of alprazolam, bromazepam & Val/diazepeam.

Thanks guys, have a great night/day/trip!
 
If you are prescribed benzos...haven't you ever taken them before bedtime before? This just seems like a strange question from someone who says they have a lot of experience with them. But yeah, you'll be fine when you wake up for school, maybe a little groggy because valium is a bit on the long acting side...that's why I actually prefer alprazolam, since it doesn't have the wake-up groggy factor.

No, actually I have never taken them before bed, I don't have any problems sleeping..

It's just with the anxiety I have with nicotine withdrawal.

And with my previous benzo usage, I was using them for recreational value. And I have tried alprazolam before but did not get any effect from it, even after 1mg!

Thanks for your answer!

you will probably feel a bit 'space cadet' for most of the day.

not really ideal if your at school and supposed to learning.=D

btw i hope you dont mind me asking? how old are you?
 
you'll be 100% fine. so fine this hardly even feels like a real question. why are you planning on taking valium at 23:30 if you do not have trouble sleeping? save it and take 5 or 10mg of it at 8:30.
 
You might be groggy but other than that you should be fine.. but as another poster mentioned if you are scripted benzos shouldn't you know this?
 
contrary to what other posters have said (IME) taking 10mg of valium just before has left me feeling 'not quite with it' the next day at work,im not saying 20mg isnt a safe dose im just thinking that if hes at school and a lot younger and i guess lighter than me,then he will be affected by the valium to a greater degree.
 
its valium tho, not like its gonna knock him on his ass. id say just wait n take em all tomorrow n have an awesome day
 
Does seem like a waste for someone who has no problems sleeping. I'd take them in the morning and enjoy them. Prescribing benzos for nicotine withadrawls is an excellent idea, I'd quit smoking for four zany bars a day=D
 
20mg's of Valium isn't a huge dose if you've already got a tolerance to benzos. You should wake up feeling fine.
 
I was prescribed valium to help with my sleep before, and for other reasons, I usually took it a couple hours before I wanted to go to sleep. I woke up fine in the morning. You're not going to be tied to your bed, just set an alarm, if you are very tired then take it earlier than you did previously.
 
This is Macedonia, they prescribe Diazepam to my 7-year-old cousin cuz she had a temperature.

The doctors didn't even know what "Alprazolam" is until I told them the local Brand name "Helex".

Yeah I admit nicotine withdrawal is nothing to you guys, but it's really hard for me, that's why I just wanted some help to relieve the anxiety I get with it. I just really really want to stop smoking, maybe I sound like a wimp, but I've tried these "local herbal" medications and they didn't help, I just want to stop :)

And for further proof that the pharms industry is fucked up here, the Pharmacist actually asked me "how many boxes" I wanted, so I took two hehe.

Thanks!
