First time valium dose?

[starlett7]

I'm taking valium for my first time, not expecting to get crazy high or anything but I'm hoping it'll chill me out because usually I'm stressed out and worried all the time.

I'm just sitting at home watching some shows tonight, would 10mg be good or should I do a little more? I really wanna feel it so I'm not like wondering if it's working or not (the way a lot of people feel their first time taking a new drug).

I'm really small, about 105lbs. Would taking another half a pill after like half an hour or so increase the feeling or would it be pointless by then?

Thanks for any feedback guys!

I would start off at 20mg of Valium and see where you're at after 1 hour.

i think 20's a good dose.

i think all at once will feel better. the change from sober to not feels good, and you will not notice the change as much once you are already under the influence. also, be careful because with benzos some people have a tendency to dose, not realize how under the influence they are, and dose more and more until they black out and wake up the next day with an empty pill bottle. so you know, don't do that.

^i think you'll find this an appropriate expectation. enjoy!

Hey - I'm not sure how tall you are so knowing your weight doesn't really tell me much (BMI could be super low or quite high, depending), but regardless: I am also pretty small - 5'8''/9'' and about 105lbs.

I DO have a benzo tolerance (I have anxiety/panic attacks and have been on and off prescription benzos for about 5 years). However, when I started taking them, or during my 'low dose' times, I find that about 2-3 mg clonazepam or lorazepam works alright for me to mellow out. So, 20mg to 30 mg of diazepam (valium) would be equivalent.

Start at the lower end (even 15mg) and take a little more after an hour or so if you feel it'd be 'beneficial'. *let us know how you feel!/what you decide to do!*

i would recommend 15mg in the beginning and see how it turns,
some weed is ok but stay away from alcohol!
have fun

Don't redose, take it all at once. From my experience, you won't get any higher than your first dose, continuing to take more will just prolong the effects. I've never felt anything from doses lower than 20mg. I think you should take 20mg but don't expect much. With little tolerance I believe 30mg is when you start to become disinhibited, feel a loss of coordination, slurred speech, drowsiness & sedation. But not everybody wants to feel that way. 20mg will relax you so I suggest you take that and just lie down.

Well I had just typed a nice decent reply and bluelight stole it and took it to the abyss

Basically in short I said, with no tolerance even 10mg will have a significant effect on your inhibitions without you realising it has, you will be likely more confident, more cocky and more confrontational as you won't worry about consequences as much.

I would advice start with 5mg, then after an hour if you feel like it take 10mg more but don't let yourself have more than that available to you for your first time as you could end up taking a whole lot more and doing something you really regret like flying away to another country on your parents credit card 8(

Or just something slightly less crazy like pissing off your mates.

Be carefull and start low, is the advice I give for any new drug, you never know how you will react so always best to start low.

alright. you have gotten a variety of suggestions to consider, and i imagine you have already taken the pills--hopefully with positive results.

i think this thread has run its course.
