Technically,I believe qid is best because diazepam's 1/2 life in the CNS is really short, contrary to popular belief. It is longish and nordiazepam is really LONG in the BODY, but the CNS is where it counts. Highly lipophilic; fast uptake, distribution, exit. Most people seem to eventually use diazepam for a buzz followed by chlordiazepoxide "maintenance" if that makes any sense. In that case, I think you can get away with bid. I believe it also depends upon the dose. For instance, you can do 2mg qid or 10mg bid; practically speaking, it's just what feels right.
