I have been prescribed diazepam, I feel like I need to take it but I’m scared too. Can anyone share their experiences? I have a 9 month old and am worried about feeling tired

If it's only 2mg, all it does for me is take the edge off my panic/anxiety - no drowsiness.
5mg starts to make me dopey, 10mg makes me sleep.

I appreciate everyone is different, but 2mg is a very small dose and no doubt prescribed for that reason if you have a small child.

If you are a bit nervous take your first at night before bed, see how you tolerate it.

I love diazepam. ❤️

2mg won't do much, you'll just feel a bit nice and relaxed. You won't feel drugged as such.

Get it down you op! Grin

2mg does nothing for me, that I can discern, I usually take 4mg to take the jittery feeling away, only when I really need it though.

Thank you all. I’ve been told to take it only when I need it. So one tablet when I need rather than 1 a day or 3 once a day
