Hi,
I've taken 2-30mg at once. I've never taken it for more than one day at a time. I sometimes have (mild) suicidal thoughts a few hours after the dose when it has started to wear off. It's the only anxiolytic benzo that most UK docs will prescribe. They seems to be fixated with the idea that diazepam is the safest benzo. My pdoc looked at me like a drug addict when I asked for lorazepam instead. Funny really because a friend once gave me some lorazepam and it didn't give me the mild 'buzz' that diazepam causes. Anyway I prefered lorazepam because it didn't cause me as much drowsiness.
