All good. Only used them twice. Excellent for my needs with no need to take daily. Doctors happy to even increase dosage within the next week or so if I wish to. How often i'm going to be using these for with regards to tolerance, I don't tolerence will be able to occur. However though, i've yet to experience a situation where I can use these to my full advantage, eg extream anxiety, stressful event etc. Until that happens, I won't know how much i'll need. But I imagine it will be somewhere between 5 and 10mg. Not sure whether or not to stick with using muiltiple 2mg pills, or switching to 5mg pills. I guess time will tell.
Nice drug for as needed use.

Boy you are lucky it's as needed it will work very well for you. If you have panic attacks when it first came out or the 70's to be exact I was started on 5mg Three times a day with mepbromate 450 mg. I was lucky to take myself off that one soon as soon as the panic subsided.Boy what they didn't know in the 70's good luck. I'm pretty sure you will find it relaxing. Love Phillipa

I love Valium. I average 10mg a day for anxiety, no side effects, no tolerance, it just works. *Hugs Valium* Best of luck,

I certainly have
:-)
What time do you take your dosage? If you take it in the evening before bed does it cover you well for anxiety the next day?

What size tablets do you take? Eg 2 x 5mg or 1 x 10mg? I doubt you take 5x 2mg? lol

It really kind of depends. I get everything in 5 mg tablets and if I want a REALLY constant level in my blood stream I will usually take them and break them in half, and take 2.5mg 4 times a day. That takes some dedication though. Usually it's 5mg twice a day.
Sometimes I meet myself halfway and take 2.5mg (half a tablet) in the morning, 2.5mg at about lunchtime, and 5mg in the afternoon. I generally take this stuff during the day, not at night.

First get the 10mg tablets you can cut them if you like or they are scored and break easily it will save you money. Less tablets. And now I take l5mg a bed. I always wake up arond 5-6am and take the 5mg tab then which I have broken off. After all these years I no longer get the relaxing feeling. Tolerance. When I first started years ago in was 5mg three times a day. That was it med wise. Hope you continue to enjoy!!!Love Phillipa
