diazepam questions

I just got ahold of some 10mg diazepam meds the blue circle ones. I looked up some info from searching here and found it was an anti anxiety med and I have never taken these before so I have some questions before I take them.

I have taken xanax for anti anxiety purposes although it wasnt prescribed to me I have to buy them from local sources. Im not taking these for abuse, in fact Ill be getting my own scripts soon for anti anxiety but anyways, Im familiar with how xanax works, so I want to know how this(10mg diazepam) will feel/work compared to xanax?

Ive had the little ladders for xanax pills, usually take a half at a time since a whole bar puts me on my ass which is not what Im trying to get out of it so how will what I was use to taking of xanax be like compared to this 10mg diazepam pill? Also are there any sideeffects I should be aware of?
 
The diazepam comes on slower than the xanax, doesn't really hit you as hard, but lasts longer IMO.... Like I don't get as tired.
Now the xanax ladders that you got are 2mgs, you said you took half so 1mg.
Conversion charts have .5mg of xanax = 10mgs of valium, so you would want 20mgs to get the same effect.
However, I take them for anxiety, and have found .5 xanax to be close to 5mg diazepam, so maybe take 15mgs since that seems to be closer to actual equivalence IME.
 
Thanks that helped alot. Ill try just one of these 10mg diazepam at first then maybe 1 and a half if it doesnt work but all I want is to feel relaxed and not so iritable all the time.
 
^ Diazepam sure will help with that. :)

Tommyboy723 makes a valid point about drug conversion charts and their real world application. Not everyone reacts the same to substances, so your idea to start off low and find your dose is a good one akdroid.
 
alright well I took iright after my last post and felt it kick in, kinda hard to stand up a bit like my muscles dont want to listen to me lol but Im on my play station and I seem to have a bit of a temper now when I dont do well at what I am playing, much more tempered than usual, I thought this stuff would keep me from going nuts like this. I damn near broke my controller lol. Imagine a 26yr old playing a video game flipping out LOL.

edit: OH I forgot to ask, I was charged $5 each for these things, did I get ripped? I get to see a psychiatrist monday to start outpatient treatment so Im hoping to get something to help me but I wonder if I just wasted $15 buying 3 of these things.
 
^ No price discussion is allowed in threads unfortunately, but you may want to try looking in the Price thread in Other Drugs to see what other people are paying.

Weird that it's making you angry, but it is the first time you've used it. Usually with diazepam it makes me tired at first, then I wake up a bit and feel calm all day. :)
 
sorry I didnt know about appraisal, I guess it doesnt matter I bought it moneys gone and I prob wont buy it again especially since I will be getting my own meds for depression and anxiety very soon but besides my little episode while playing the game I do feel more relaxed. Ide prefer not to feel any buzz or w/e kicks ppl get out of abusing these things, I just like not being stressed. Anyways thanks for the support.
 
I usually take my 5mg pill at 11am, and then take the second pill around 5pm. It has a very long half-life, and I can usually just take half a pill at 5 instead of the full one. So I would say you have a good 6hrs of feeling it.
 
theres plenty of places online you can get valium its not like you just discovered gold or something, and yea what you paid is a ripoff

diazepam are valiums? I dont know much about these but Ive heard plenty about valiums but didnt know these were them.

this is what I have http://www.drugs.com/imprints/10-dan-5620-3588.html

I need to know if plugging is a more effective and safe way to take these because a single didnt work all that great but I took 2 today and it works great but if plugging 1 is just as good as taking 2 I want to know.
 
I prefer valiums. Originally my doc had me on .5 xanax for a couple of months. For some reason he switched me over to 10 valium. In my experience I've found the difference to be that xanax gives me a groggy, too laidback reaction. Xanax seems to hit harder, faster but not last as long. But the valiums do not give me an invariable feeling, I stay even all day and it lasts much longer. I also never get the murky feelings from valiums. I take 1 full tab around 8-9am and do not begin to feel the anxious butterflies and blacking out & static in my ears (the early symptoms of panic attacks for me) until after work, which I prevent before it starts by taking another full one at 5pm, which will last the night thru. I take mine by putting it under my tongue until it dissolves, which works quickly. Perfect!

Both will do the job. It all comes down to personal preference.

Are... you kidding?

Yes, diazepam is valium. Diazepam is the chemical name for it, valium is a brand.

No plugging is not worth it, just swallow them.

Diazepam is a generic for Valium. One more version is Mylan's Diazepam (Valium) which looks like this:

Mylan 477

Round and bluish-green...
 
Diazepam is a stronger muscle relaxer, and i find that to be a noticeable difference.. also it doesn't pack as much of a punch as xanax... but it lasts longer... i find valium (diazepam) to be more relaxing, and a better anxiolytic... xanax is too short acting for my taste
