Does the original effects of Diazepam come back after Cocaine wears off..?

[PandaGun]

I was wondering and I have really tried to find this out before posting!
If 10-20mg of Diazepam is ingested and then some Cocaine is used 30+ mins after the original dose of Diazepam and then the cocaine wears off (being a fairly short lived stim), does the valium's a/effects come back in full swing..? Or is the Valium thereafter subdued for it's duration?

Regards

Speaking strictly from an effect based on dose, no. If you have 20mg of Valium in your blood before cocaine you will have that amount, adjusted for your bodies elimination of the drug, in your system after cocaine. This means that if you took 20mg before, did coke, and proceeded to do another 20mg eventually it will "feel" like a full 40mg to you.

The problem with your train of thought is that cocaine lasts way longer then 30 mins and there is no way you will feel "like you just took 20mg of Valium 30 mins after coke" as you will be wired for like 3-5 hours after your last line. So maybe after we will say 2.5h, you may begin to feel the Valium more since cokes secondary stimulant effect has worn off.

The most important thing to note is that you will always have 20mg in your blood whether you feel it or not. This makes redosing dangerous as the effects are very unprofitable. Proceed with extreme caution if you plan on redosing especially if you are not home.

(Edit) mis read the whole 30mins thing (cut me some slack its 930am ) but the idea is still the same you will feel some relaxation during cocaine and a gradual easing into the effects of the benzo however, the secondary stimulation of the cocaine and in a sense the residual effects also may make it so the Valium isn't "felt" in full strength

Diazepam is extensively bound to plasma proteins (99 percent).
After oral administration peak plasma concentrations are reached in 1 to four hours. Drug elimination follows a biphasic pattern, with a rapid phase (half-life = 2 to 3 hours) followed by a slow decay with a half-life of 2 to 8 days.
Diazepam is metabolized to active products including oxazepam. One third is excreted as oxazepam and 70% of the metabolites appear in the urine. Metabolites have been found in the urine and in the plasma 14 days after a 10 mg dose.

Just a few facts you might want to know about diazepam and its ultra long half life.
