taking diazepam

[helen_1]

my doctor has put me on 5mg diazepam but what im wondering is if you can split the tablet and just take half i only need to take them as needed but im abit devious in taking a whole 5mg one because i know they can be really addictive any help would be appreciated thank you

Yes that is fine. I used to have 2mg ones and split them in half as 1mg worked fine for me.

Just be aware they may make you a bit drowsy.

They do have a calming effect and helped me get through some really bad panic attacks so I hope they help you too.
