Diazepam, maybe it works…

Yesterday I came here and ranted about how Diazepam, this supposedly great pill which is the generic to Valium, did nothing to me. Then I thought that maybe I just had to take more and for a longer period of time for it to work. I had only been taking five measly milligrams and right after dinner. By the time I went to sleep, the little effect it had had worn out.

I was right.

Last night, I slept from around one thirty to ten in the morning. I was so happy when I woke up and saw daylight. I slept for more than eight hours, and straight, I didn’t even wake up during the night!

Once I got up however, my head was hurting quite a bit. A lot, actually. I figured it was probably because I had just woken up and was hungry, so I had breakfast and started getting ready for my daily work out. But the pain was still there. I decided to lie down for just a bit, until I felt better. It must have been around ten thirty.

I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was six thirty in the afternoon.

All together, I slept around sixteen hours. Sixteen hours! How on earth did I sleep sixteen hours?! I have never been able to sleep that long! Sixteen hours, that’s the equivalent to two nights of sleep.

So, new opinion. I love Diazepam. I just need to buy a new alarm clock. No, really. I just have to work on my dosage and timing. I’ll be very happy if it can help me control and fix my sleeping patterns. I won’t be taking anymore for now though. There’s a very clear warning that comes with the pills about how addictive they can be. And after these amazingly healing and relaxing sixteen hours, I can understand why people would let themselves become addicted…
