If you check here

It appears the daily adult dosage is 5-40mg of valium (edit)

2 weeks of drinking solidly is going to "throw you" biologically.

More valium is not "getting sleep" seriously it sounds like "getting unconcious".

It is contrainditory with alcohol unless under treatment. They generally don't mix.

I don't mean to alarm you, and I am the last person to comment on AL.

But I can share my experiences, and let you know that Drs can help.

And I would urge you to see one, after all there is nothing to "loose".

A little background:

I can't say enough how seeing a GP has helped me.

I remember a few years back (depression related) I braved seeing a Dr.

I was not even sure why I was there, just that I knew how I was feeling sucked and I wanted something better.

I am never going to be one of those people that "has it all together", hey I am on day 5 of antabuse after all!

But its a lot better than I could have been.

You mentioned that alcohol is "killing you slowly". That really hit me because its how I feel.

I am wrestling with the part of me that thinks that I have plenty of time to "do something about it" and tells me "its not that bad"

But I am slowly learning thats the part of my brain that needs alcohol (yes its still a need), and there is no benefit to "wait" to get well.

Hope you are ok

Doctors can help but not all are good, I've had a couple that were no help at all and because of that, here are Sydney places that I know are good.
East Sydney Doctors Burton St Darlinghurst East Sydney Doctors - Providing you with the highest quality care
St Vincents Hospital Emergency - their care and consideration of you as a person will make you feel totally protected :l
Gorman House for detox - but they cannot prescribe the valium that most people require although they do hand out the dosage - in your case I am wondering if you will need a different anti-seizure med as you are abusing valium as well as alcohol. Indeed you may need some complex treatment to get off both??
If you want to get treatment "out of area" on the Central coast dial Wyong Hospital full medical detox and they control the medication/treatment regime.

Let us clarify this:

The DAILY dosage of Valium is 5 to 40 mg, in divided doses through out the day.
A single dose of 40 mg of Valium is not a safe dose outside of an Emergency department.

Guys sorry!! Just woke up. Still very sleepy. I really believe it is working! I still have some beer, but do not want to drink it. My gf (who really is the best person in the world) is coming back from work in 1h.

I am doing ok. At least at the moment

Oh my network... you hang in there. I still think it would be good for your health if you went to an emergency room just to be on the safe side. Better to be safe then sorry. Your fighting really hard right now I can tell... just wish you'd give yourself a break and get some help :l

hope you don't mind Network

I just spoke on the phone with Network and his gf has arrived as we were speaking, so he has someone to look after him.
I thought I should post this to alleviate concern.

G'day Netty,

Long time no see mate.

Listen, is your girlfriend there with you now? Don't drink anymore alcohol mate, because the alcohol and the valium combined could easily slow your breathing to a full stop, which means you stop breathing, then your heart stops.

You need to ask your girlfriend to take you to a hospital emergency department, and tell them what you have taken, so they can check you out.

If you are alone, tell me your address, and i will call an ambulance for you now, 000, to get you to a hospital.

I will pm you now. If you want to reply to my pm, just write under my pm message, then click on 'reply'. Ok?

G.

I'm glad that you're not alone Netty. Please be very honest with your g/f with what you've taken and ask her to take you to a hospital. From what others have said your situation is quite precarious. I wouldn't want your g/f to think you have simply fallen asleep. Praying for you.

Thinking about you and hope your night wasn't too bad. Please check in and let us all know how you are doing. There are many here that would love to see you do well and you do not have to tough it out on your own.

Hi there,

Thanks everyone. I am better today. Just extreme anxiety and little sweaty, but I can deal with it.
I actually was very confused yesterday and made a mistake counting amount of Valium I took ! I actually only took 20Mg. That's how confused I was. I could not count properly!

Once again thank you. No more alcohol for me. I still have cravings, but now I know I can get rid of them.

All the best!

Thank you for checking in. I was quite worried about you last night and was wondering how you were today.

Hi Network,
I'm glad to hear your better. That makes since you miscounted the valium... I was wondering how you could have taken so much and was worried. So glad you checked in and are fighting the cravings. Cravings are no fun but they pass. All the best to you too!
