I've taken diazepam before, but it was around 18 months ago now, I took between 4 - 6mg and can remember feeling quite drowsy but I'm worried that one 5mg tablet now is going to cause me to become really drowsy, mainly because I haven't taken them for 18 months or so.
So my question is, is 5mg a strong dose? I really would like the edge taken off my anxiety today but I'm so worried about feeling really drowsy or out of control? Thanks.
Starting dosage (Is usually 2.5mg) 5mg is at the lower/middle spectrum.
