Re: 2-5mg makes me so tired
its a late reply but im new on this forum so thought i would check a few posts out and try help, All benzos have a sedating effect, they are minor tranquilizers. one thing they are used for is temporary sleeping aid so taking them in the day will most certainly have this effect and if your new on benzos even more soo. i noticed when i first started on them, 2mg valium was enough to make me feel sleepy for sure! 2mg valium is low though and benzos should actually help with psychological effects so im sorry to here this hasnt helped, im no doctor, but i actually take them in combination with propanolol short acting (not extended release) 40mg to increase the adrenaline blocking effect and find together they help very well with the psychological fear, 2mg is more to scrape the edge off anxiety. the ones that really start calming the mind are from 5mg upwards or other benzos, but i would descuss this with your doctor aswella s the propanolol combo, address your concerns, dont just take more than one valium because the one alone isnt helping, the doc may tell you to do this but let him do that :)
