How long does Valium last between doses and does it last longer than Xanax?

Valium (diazepam) typically lasts longer than Xanax (alprazolam) between doses. The effects of Valium can last anywhere from 6 to 8 hours, while Xanax generally has a shorter duration of action, lasting about 4 to 6 hours. Additionally, Valium has a longer half-life, which can contribute to its prolonged effects compared to Xanax. However, individual responses may vary based on factors such as dosage and metabolism.

Is lorazapan the same as Valium on a follicle test?

No, lorazepam and Valium (diazepam) are not the same substance and will not show up identically on a follicle test. While both are benzodiazepines used to treat anxiety and other conditions, they have different chemical compositions. A follicle test can differentiate between the two, detecting specific metabolites associated with each drug. Therefore, they would show up as distinct substances in such testing.

How do you cut down from 5mg of Valium?

Consult your doctor orpsychiatrist to get the best counseling and feedback.

If your daily dosage is 5 mg you might beadvisedto use 2,5 mg stesolid or 2mg Valium, these can be divided to 1,25 Stesolid or 1 mg Valium.

I would strongly advice taking the 2,5 mg and slowly reduce.


Even though its a very small dosage, and therefore wont take that long time to quit, it is still a demanding challenge.


Good luck. It's a respectful choice to quit Valium!
