I have taken it before having dental treatment before now (my fear of the dentist makes me hard work without it).

The first couple of times I felt a bit woozy after about 10 minutes - head a bit swimmy, eyes a bit squiffy. But only for a short while - after 20 or 30 minutes I just felt relaxed but otherwise normal.

After the first couple of times I didn't feel any wooziness at all.

At the risk of sounding like an ageing hippy......just go with the flow....Joe.

in about 15 minutes all your muscles will feel very relaxed and you may want to go to sleep.

Go to bed now with a warm drink. You will probably drift off nicelyt.

raspberryberet · 06/04/2007 20:26

Don't be worried, it's a pretty low dose and nothing awful is going to happen!

Don't panic

colditz · 06/04/2007 20:26

Don't be frightened of it, it's evry very safe for occasional use, compared to other things to make you relax!

SherlockLGJ · 06/04/2007 20:26

BTW 5mg is nowt. You are not a druggie.

vvvvvvv · 06/04/2007 20:27

well thats how i feel abit strange will this fellin wear off as it freaks me out?????

lulumama · 06/04/2007 20:29

you have to wait for it to get out of your system! why you panicking so much about the drug> it is a small dose, not harmful, go to bed and get a good nights sleep...
if it is going to freak you this much, don;t take it before you fly !

Plibble · 06/04/2007 20:29

It is only what used to be called valium and that is a low dose.

When I have taken it, I get nice and relaxed. I am claustrophobic so take it when flying. It makes me think "oh look, I am trapped in a horrid tin can... Never mind, I don't care" and then I have a nice kip. Normally I would be climbing the walls. It is excellent stuff.

There is nothing at all to be scared of. Just go and tuck yourself up in bed.

vvvvvvv · 06/04/2007 20:30

im feeling strange but im a panic r tho.

OP posts:
Plibble · 06/04/2007 20:34

By strange do you mean a bit fuzzy around the edges, maybe a bit woozy? If so, that is fine and how you are meant to be.
Right now you are at home, so if you feel wierd it will be v noticable. When you take it on the plane you will be stuck in a seat and should just go with it as you will have nothing else to do.
Now switch off the computer and go to bed!

vvvvvvv · 06/04/2007 20:35

plibble im the same as you, after reading all thease its making me feel better just kinda tipsy not sure if i will take again tho as i fell strange lol its quite funny feeling tho lol

Have a lie down, close your eyes and relax. The diazepam is good for anxiety, if you just lie down and let it work, you'll feel fine soon. The wooziness doesn't last long, and before you know it you'll just feel relaxed and sleepy.

5mg is no huge deal, it's a very low dose and it can't harm you - you have nothing at all to panic about.

vvvvvvv · 06/04/2007 20:38

My mum takes it when she goes to teh dentist. She takes two cos shes so scared of dental work. She gets a bit fidgety and woozy. It doesnt seem to last long.
