140mg Diazepam: Dangerous?

I don't think it is, insofar as ODing and dying goes. But I'll ask anyway. My regular dose is 80mg at once, so adding another 60mg to that wouldn't be dangerous, would it?
 
That's quite the leap, why don't you just do 110mg so that you are taking 30mg more than usual instead of 60mg more?

Because all I have left are 28 5mg tabs. I need at least 80 to feel something. If I take 110 mg then I'll have 30 mgs leftover, and that 30 mg won't do shit for me. In effect, the 30 mgs leftover is wasted. But to answer my question: Is the leap from my usual 80 mg dose to 140 mg dangerous? I'm not using any other CNS depressants.

EDIT: I should add that I function normally on 80 mg; I'm not a stumbling, word-slurring mess.
 
That is a high dose of diazepam.
From what you have said, it seems like you are just going to make your tolerance even higher.
I don't know what you want to achieve, but I think the extra amount would be more of a waste of the drug, if you are functioning normally at 80mg, I can't see 140mg being that much different. (except highering your tolerance which isn't cool).

Well, the 80 mgs I usually take is no longer giving me that inhibition-free feeling (like you get with alcohol.) I want to get back the feeling of being disinhibited so I can socialize better. I figured that higher dose would make that happen.

NOPE, far from it.

The only way to have a chance of getting that "feeling" you are looking for is for you to wait till all the diazepam is out of your system, which can be up to 14 days.
Thinking that a larger dose will work is looking for trouble (dangerous) and also pushing up your tolerance (as I said before).

Once the diazepam is out of your system you would have a chance of that "feeling" you are looking for at your normal dose.
But you have to go without benzos for two weeks to get to this state which is, in its self dangerous. (Cold Turkey benzo w/d and all that).

Sorry to be the bearer of this news, but chasing that first "feeling" will be a waste of time, drugs and ultimately your mental health.
 
When an already high dose of a drug no longer gives you the effects you are looking for then you are better off taking a tolerance break instead of just increasing the dose. I agree with shreddedlettuce, that the last 30mg will be more of a waste if you take it all together. Couldn't you save it for next time you have 80mg and want to take a 110mg dose? Once you get to a certain point with benzos a higher dose doesn't really do anything more for you, which is why I really think that you should take 110 instead of 140, and save the 30mg for another time. Taking the full amount isn't worth the tolerance increase IMO.
 
bad advice, take all of it, you will feel more relaxed and buzzed than normal. If you could call it that. If i take 2mg of clonazepam i feel fine, normal okay, but if i take 4 mg i feel fucked up wobbly and slurring my words. I get that it's not everyone's cup of tea but i enjoy it. I say go for it.

It's short term thinking like this that causes more problems in the long run. I've been taking benzos for 6 years now, and if I want to get high then I will take 30mg of diazepam. That wasn't the case when I was younger and chased my tolerance sky high, but since then I have taken long enough breaks to lower my tolerance, and now I couldn't even imagine taking the dosages that the OP is referring to, or even the dosages that I used to take.

I don't see how getting basically the same high while keeping your tolerance lower is bad advice.
