Blahblah Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Had to resort to taking a Valium (5mg) tonight for acute stress flare-up after a heated argument (happened right before bedtime, then I can't fall asleep) These intense emotions of overwhelm and sadness keep me awake for hours afterwards. How long until this kicks in? After 20-30 mins, It doesn't feel like it's doing much at all...would taking more be bad? I also have Xanax, but I end up waking up middle of night when it wears off.

Blahblah Posted September 24, 2018 Author Share Posted September 24, 2018 Thanks guys. It actually took a full 1 hour to decompress, but once I went to bed, I slept through the night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
