My Review
Overall Experience
Unfortunately I can't really review Diazepam because I simply don't feel benzodiazepines.
I've taken doses that should have produced noticeable sedation, disinhibition or memory impairment, yet I remained completely sober. No relaxation, no euphoria, no motor impairment, no blackouts just nothing. Even at high doses, Diazepam has never produced any noticeable subjective effects for me.
The only time I've ever noticed benzodiazepines doing anything is when they're combined with alcohol, where they seem to potentiate the alcohol somewhat. On their own, however, they are useless to me.
What I Enjoyed
- Nothing noticeable.
What I Didn't Enjoy
- No effects whatsoever.
Would I Use It Again?
No
