Diazepam is known for having this kind of effect, I only ever took it for a few days, also addictive, shouldn't be a problem though if you follow doctors instructions on administration :-) xxx

I've taken valium occasionally for 40 years, I find half a 5mg tablet is sufficient, and I've never noticed feeling irritable. If you're feeling over anxious it can be used three times a day for a few weeks but it is addictive as suzie482 says and it also becomes less effective over time. Other than that taking one now and then when you really feel the need is a good way to use them. They really are magic bullets, they work fast and effectively every time.
