No I take a total of l5mg a day. 5mg in the am and l0mg at bedtime. I took it the first time over 30years ago. I believe the dose was 5mg TID. I also took meprobamate 450mg with it. I gave up the mepro one day with no side effects. I gradually cut down the valium to 5mg once a day or every other day. Then I was going through a divorce, raising 3kids and running an aerobic dance program, and going to nursing school. I guess somewhere in there I started to see a pdoc again and I think I was on low doses of ativan for a while. Then after working a few years and moving to VA Beach, I had a rough time and took valium again for a awhile. Then when a relative stole a new Rx of it I asked for xanax not knowing it was considered a "street or party" drug. I took this for years also at low doses. Then when my thyroid became hypo, I required more xanax and my first AD. Finally now I am again on valium. It doesn't provide me with that AAAhhh feeling it used to but I don't seem to need any more than this. Oh I was on l.5-2mg klonopin when I started the valium and didn't ever like the klonopin. Fondly, Phillipa
