Thought This Was Interesting....

Posted by Buckeye Fan on March 23, 2005, at 7:40:46

I had 2 wisdom teeth extracted yesterday....and the Dentist had given me a prescription for 7..5millgram tablets of Valium, to take 1/2 hour before the procedure.
Thats right....35 milligrams, all at once!
I ( and the Pharmacist ) thought that was alot...so I ended up only taking 25 miligrams.

Here is the interesting part.....
I was somwhat relaxed..but certainly NOT in the twilight-sleep that the Valium was supposed to put me in.
Nor did I feel particuliarly like sleeping when I got home. I rested...but I was awake and just "relaxed".

Do you think this is because I take 2-3 milligrams of Xanax every day for the last 3 years?

For my money..Xanax is way more powerful than Valium. If I would have taken the equivilent dose of Xanax...I would have spent the day sleeping.

Maybe its just my system

Yeah, I am sure it was a built up tolerance issue.

I've never taken Valium before, but I have taken Xanex and Klonopin. I notice Xanex seems to really knock me out and make me sleep, but the same amount of Klonopin hardly effects me.

How are you feeling, you poor thing!!

I had all 4 wisdom teeth on my 24th birthday.

They gave me a similar pill ( I don't remember what it was) but I do recall acting like a drunk woman while sitting in the waiting room- pulling on the blinds and banging my head against the wall.

It was fun. LOL

You can take very high doses of valium without it knocking you out. They use it a lot to detox people from other meds. I've seen it used at doses of 75mg and the person was still shaking. Fondly, Phillipa
