1st Valium Update - Feeling Tired
September 23, 2026··
Feeling okay. Been having bouts of gi upset, visual disturbances, muscle aches, and emotional blunting. I started my taper on 25mg of Diazepam last year and I am currently down to 5mg and holding this until I have a stable home environment to complete the rest of the taper. If I miss a dose of diazepam I experience severe restless legs, akathisia and body aches.
