I was introduced to a new friend today. His name used to be Valium, but now you can call him Diazepam. It possesses hypnotic, sedative, skeletal muscle relaxant and amnestic properties. It is commonly used for treating anxiety, insomnia and seizures. Most common side-effects include amnesia, impaired coordination, dizziness and nausea, depression, impaired learning and may increase the propensity toward self-harming behaviors and in extreme cases – may provoke suicidal tendencies or acts. The State of California offers diazepam to condemned inmates as a pre-execution sedative as part of their lethal injection program.
So, in any case – if I start doing dumb shit and drool like Homer, you’ll guys will know what’s the cause. Diazepam comes in 3 generic versions, 2mg, 5mg and 10 mg. Doc gave me the 10 mg for the next 3 nites. Will need to go back on Monday for a re-check of my blood pressure and decide if I will need to be under constant medication. My blood pressure today was 150/90. She asked if I was under a lot of stress from work lately. I pondered and said …. (amnesia kicking in, I forgot what I said, what was this post about again?)
