I'm on about 40mg of Valium, I don't know how much is safe to take, I've also drank quite a few beers ranging from 6-9% Alc.

I'm curious how much valium is "save" to take. I realize everyone is different, but I feel I could go 50mg more.

I read that the LD50 in mice is somewhere around 700-800mg. That seems extremely high.

Whats a "safe" ammount to do? 20mg doesn't do it for me. I like a bit of a buzz.

Edit:
Also curious the best way to take. Crushed? Crushed under tongue? Snorted?
 
As long as you stop drinking alcohol, you can up the dose a little bit. Like 10mg by 10mg, every hour or two. No need to take 50 more mg because Valium has a long half-life.
But please do not drink more, it's asking for trouble with benzos.

As for the ROA (route of administration), just swallow the pill, as it is, not even crushed. Valium tastes vile, so under the tongue is of no benefit in my opinion.

This.

Please don't drink more. It's a bad bad bad idea.

Enjoy the valium buzz.
 
1) no more alcohol with your benzos.

2) Assuming you have at least as light tolerance to benzos, I'd say since you're accustomed to 30 (to 40)mg already, try 40 (or 45)mg next time. I have a benzo tolerance and with valium find 30-40mg to be perfect. Don't overdo it - what's the point? Ease your way up there. You say you MAY be able to 'handle' 50mg but don't jump right TO that amount. Go up in 5 or 10mg increments.

3) ONLY swallow them (w/o tapering with them - for the reasons mentioned above).
 
I have a massive benzo (& alcohol) tolerance & could comfortably neck 100mg valium & a bottle of red wine. Thats me tho, you could be totally different.

Thats whats great about this forum. How many lives has it saved...?

It's saved probably hundreds to thousands, that's not even including the other parts of this forum.
