Diazepam dosing

[[No...]]

 

Just wondering, Im on my first week of only valium. 20 mgs a day. 5mgs 4x a day. Some days I feel like it makes me too tired and want to skip a portion of my dose and other days I feel way too anxious and tense and need the full dose. Considering valium’s long half life, is that ok to do you think? 

I just dont feel good taking more than I feel I need.. but I dont want to possibly have to pay for it days later because of the half life 🤷🏼‍♂️

I got myself in quite a bit of trouble dosing to higher and lower levels.  This sort of thing can produce a thing called 'kindling'.  20 mgs of Diazepam and its half life (supposedly 10 days or so) makes it a little more forgiving, but if you want to attempt a taper, be careful.  Sticking at one dosage level and working from there helped me until I got down to 2mg.  But then I tried to up dose, then changed my mind, then went back up, yada, yada.  I finally wound up at 4mg and have held there for the last 6 weeks.  I'm feeling better now, but I became extremely ill in the process.
