Me too!

I found with 2mg Diazepam, which I took when getting on Duloxetine and waking adrenaline rushes were very bad for me, that it just sort of slid down over my head and a wave like feeling all down my body where I calmed down. It happened pretty quick for me, much quicker than what you found, Shaz, but I know it varies. I usually got 2-2.5 hours of calm out of that and that was from a VERY anxious & agitated state (the Duloxetine ramped up my anxiety to levels beyond anything I've ever experienced). I used to get a headache as it wore off but that passed pretty quickly.

Whilst it doesn't last long, I didn't feel as bad for hours after those 2 hours. It took me down from the peak.
