It is always recommended that until you have been taking this type of drug for several weeks, (on a daily basis) that you DO NOT DRIVE. Benzo's have what is called a long "half life". Half life is how much of the active ingredient is in your CNS after you take the very first dose. Drug screens have detected a single dose of a benzo Valium a MONTH after it was ingested. This type of drug is not like alcohol, where it get 'out of your system an ounce per hour. Take this advice: Wait until you are at your home or hotel until you take the prescribed dose.

It's generally recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 hours after taking Tylenol PM before taking Valium. This is to minimize the risk of increased sedation or other side effects since both medications can have sedative effects. However, it's essential to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice based on your specific situation.

It's generally advisable to wait until after your dentist visit to take your dextroamphetamine if you've taken Valium beforehand. Valium can cause sedation, and taking dextroamphetamine, which is a stimulant, might counteract its effects or lead to increased side effects. Always consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice based on your specific medical history and circumstances.

Should you eat with Valium?

You can eat prior to taking valium and be safe... but what I think you really mean is will the high be less intense if you eat before taking it. That is a logical yes, any drug will be less effective if you eat before taking it as it gets mixed in along with the food taking longer to digest and longer to absorb; lessening the dose at any given time. Eating after taking valium and getting the effect will not lessen its effect though, so if you want to eat, take the valium first, wait for it to kick in, and then eat.

How long after taking a Valium 10mg can you safely drink alcohol?

Valium (Diazepam) is a long acting benzodiazepine. Its effects last between 6-8hrs with lingering effects for up to 8 days. Valium increases alcohols effects by 3x. It would be safe to say depending on how regularly you drink and if you can handle your drink, It is pretty safe to drink almost immediately after 10mg. If you want to be cautious, wait 3hrs and then start. NOTE: IF YOU MEAN GETTING DRUNK, THEN BEAR IN MIND YOU WILL RISK SEVERE AMNESIA AND IT IS LIKELY YOU WILL GET DRUNK MUCH FASTER WITH LESS ALCOHOL. Also a good note; taking high doses of any long half life benzo (Valium, Klonopin) can have an effects for days. IE: you take 50mg Valium on monday, if you were to go out next day and get drunk you would notice a significant increase in effects, and it is likely you would get drunk on half of what you normally would. STAY SAFE
