What does it feel like to take Valium?

Quotes from those who know (Thanks Reddit users!):

“Nice buzz to it and all your problems go a way. There is a sense of euphoria.”

“So I’m not really into benzos but i take Xanax from time to time. I never liked it because it makes me tired, anti-social, confused, and gives me amnesia. However today I took 25mg Valium and it actually gave me a nice sense of relaxation throughout my body and made me feel talkative and in a great mood.”

“Try to only use them once or twice a week at most. Don’t start doing reckless high doses and don’t carry a lot of benzos on you if you have a habit of taking more once you start feeling it. If you find yourself taking benzos multiple days in a row despite trying to moderate your use then continuing to use them may not be the best decision.”

“Valium was nicknamed ‘mother’s little helper’ for a reason: it makes any stress-inducing situation just fine. HOWEVER: if you overuse it, it seems to lower people’s ability to deal with ANY sort of stressful situation, ie, ‘Oh my god! I need to wash the dishes. Oh shit. I can’t deal with this pressure. I NEED A Valium.’ I’m sort of kidding here, but this drug is definitely habit-forming and very addictive. No joke. Be careful. I prefer to save my Valium use for drug comedowns or travel. I start to feel sketchy about it as a general sleeping pill because it is so addictive.”
