I messed up with my pills. I took 15 mg of diazepam. I was hoping it would help put me to sleep so I can stop the incessant neck movements. I just want it to stop, and I don’t know what to do. I want to go to sleep. So I took more than I was supposed to. I feel so guilty. I broke my husband’s trust. I don’t know how to tell him. I don’t know if he’ll trust me with my weekly pills now or not, and I don’t know if I deserve to be trusted with them. I feel like such a failure.

What dose do you normally take? I don’t know what a safe dose is?
If you think you’ve actually overdosed then call 911.

I normally take 10mg.
And I took 30 mg Buspirone.
You’ve got to be careful. That 50% more. You should let your husband know in case you become unconcious or something. I.e. if there’s repercussions to taking 15mg it’s better that he knows you took it.
If you start to feel unwell call 911.

thing is with that drug is that your body can get use to that dose and you may need more but it is also addictive so its difficult,
idk about the other drug busperone, idk what that is,
you could always phone a helpline to ask for advice they may have more knowledge,

15 mg is not a safe dose to take at home! Tell your husband, so he can watch you for signs of a bad reaction. If you feel unwell at all, call 911!

Call your doctor at once if you feel that this medicine is not working as well as usual, or if you think you need to use more than usual.
Overdose symptoms may include extreme drowsiness, loss of balance or coordination, limp or weak muscles, or fainting.

@Happy_H, I am hoping you are okay. Please be careful with your meds.
I unlisted this, so it doesn’t continually upset people who can’t do anything to help. I’ll relist it when you check back in with us.

I am okay. I am sorry for not posting. I told my husband. I felt really drowsy, but he kept me awake by having me watch a movie and play video games.

Yeah 15mg of Valium won’t kill you.
But please be careful next time.

My husband isn’t going to take away my pills, but if I mess up again, he will. I am not suicidal right now.

Can you call your doctor and discuss finding a solution for your TD? There are meds that can help, and if it’s so bad you’re taking too much diazepam to cope, they should make it a priority to help you find some relief.

She is going to put me on clozapine. I saw her earlier today, and she gave me a prescription for the first blood draw. She is hoping that it will help to get me off of some of my anxiety meds. That would be nice. I don’t want to be tempted by diazepam. I hate feeling weak.

If it helps I have been told a few times by mental health workers that what you did is ok as long as you only do it in emergencies. They were not doctors
