ummm... my packet says one or 2, but that was while BFing...

MerryMellowmas · 22/12/2006 08:19

Just stick with the one. It will work fine if you do not them regularly.

you could always take another with you but I think 2mg will be fine

Ring a pharmacy if no one comes along in time on here.

see, I would rather risk taking 1 too many, as they aren't very strong tblets, than not enought and have to have an unsedated needle. because I just won't hve the needle if that hppens and I really need this filling.

I'm gonna be rattling on about this all morning, It's playing on my mind.

Take 2 then - I took 28 and im fine

fizzbuzz · 22/12/2006 08:24

I agree 1mg. Was prescribed this for fear of flying, and the doctor told me to take 1mg 1 hour before take off.

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 08:24

they go up to 10mg a tablet, so 2 x 2mg isnt alot really ...

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 08:25

me?

MerryMellowmas · 22/12/2006 08:26

If you want to feel quite sedated perhaps you should take two.

I am with Sherlock and would probably ring pharmacy, everyones tolerance is different to them I would think.

Me I would take 5 tablets Huge wimp but used to diazepam so know what I need.

Good luck

2mg?

I'd take two of those.

That's pretty light.

christmosschops30 · 22/12/2006 09:52

if you dont take them regularly then just one will be more than enough.

If you take them every day or so then I would take about 6mg

HTH

christmosschops30 · 22/12/2006 09:52

colditz just seen your post.

Definately just one then

christmosschops30 · 22/12/2006 09:53

and they are quite fast acting so maybe bout 20-30 mins before you need to feel woozy

I took 1 aand a half, and they didn't really do very much. If I ever have to use them again, I will deffo take two. good news is, dentist gave me an xray and said there is nothing actully wrong with my teeth, so I didn't need a filling fter all.

Quootiepie · 22/12/2006 16:22
