I want to know the dosage of the Valium I just took please.?

Question:

I am dealing with Stage III cancer and due to added financial devastation, today I couldn't stop crying. I found an old valium (small blue tablet) and decided to take it. I couldn't remember the strength of it so I only took half. It was no longer in the orginal bottle and due to chemo my memory isn't the greatest. I'd really like to know the dose that I took because I feel kind of 'loopy'...better than crying though. I don't plan on driving today and I don't drink but would like to be reassurred that I am OK. I don't have much experience with any kind of drug until chemo.

Answers:
10 mg - That explains your loopiness, especially if you haven't taken it in a while! You should be OK, but do as you said, do not drink, drive or anything that requires mental alertness. You will probably be very, very sleepy. Sometimes, these medications can affect your respiratory drive, especially if you have taken other medications, so you may want to have someone check in on you every so often.

Here's a chart:

For oral administration, Valium is supplied as round, flat-faced scored tablets with V-shaped perforation and beveled edges. Valium is available as follows: 2 mg, white bottles of 100 (NDC 0140-0004-01) and 500 (NDC 0140-0004-14); 5 mg, yellow bottles of 100 (NDC 0140-0005-01) and 500 (NDC 0140-0005-14); 10 mg, blue bottles of 100 (NDC 0140-0006-01) and 500 (NDC 0140-0006-14)

JOY

You could ask your local pharmacy, please get in touch with a close friend to talk over your worries with, the main thing is for you to feel good about yourself, believe me your financial problems will get better, your health is worth much more than any amount of financial worry. Hope you feel better soon.
