do diazepam make you feel stoned?

[Alamie]

hey guys have just been given these by my doctor to take for over the weekend
he has only given me 2mg but i have a massive fear of feeling stoned and spacey and not in my own mind or body. so i am very scared of taking these as my doc said they make me feel sedated. please guys i am already very anxious and if i were to take 1 and it made me feel funny i think id end up at a&e lol

Nope nothing like that - just relaxed

I can honestly say 2mg of diaz will not make you feel stoned :doh:
It will just slightly relax you, you will still be in total control of your mind and body. I have been on 12mg a day for 7 months but I am slowly reducing as my anx/panic improves. I function really well, go to work and I am totally with it (although perhaps a little more tired) Please don't worry, 2mg is such a low dose...you'll be fine!

I have taken Diazepam in the past for short periods of time and they just make you feel "normal", you, only without the anxiety.
2mg is a very low dose and it should not cause you any negative side effects.

thx so much guys..i just worry cos i am hyper sensitive to tablets and they seem to hit me 10x more than the ordinary human lol! i took a codeine once and nearly ended up in a&e it freaked me out that much.

Me too....I am very tablet phobic, had some mega bad reactions in the past....but diaz is very 'gentle' you will be fine. Good luck. Kitti :)

I'm scared of the stoned feeling too, but even on higher doses (15mg) I have never felt stoned (or even particularly sedated) on them. In fact, for me, they stop that feeling of unreality and make me feel back to normal again. I suppose this is part of the reason why they're so addictive to some people, because it makes the anxiety and all the related symptoms like unreality go away.

That's my experience anyway. Use them sparingly :) I have been using them on an as-needed basis for years and they have been a lifesaver for me.
