Just that really.

Morning all!

Yes it can.
It stays in your system for quite some time.
strong coffee in the morning may help. Smile

It's a very low dose though so I'd have thought it unlikely after just one tablet. Having said that some people can react differently to others

Diazepam stays in your urine for 8-12 hours after one dose. For multiple doses it can be present for weeks.

I wouldn't suggest driving the morning after you take it for a one off use.

I think you'd be fine driving on such a low dose especially the night before. It's probably because you had a really deep sleep and just woke up more relaxed and less tense than usual.

For me I would not be aware of anything untoward or unusual the next day. Or in fact shortly after I'd taken it, as 2mg does nothing for me as I am really tall and fairly heavy. It's so personal. If you are small, light and susceptible to benzos theN I imagine it could well have some longer lasting effects.
