Diazepam 2mg in 5ml solution how much is 1ml equal to is it 1/2mg per 1ml ?


[no...]

Recommended Posts

 

I can't get 5mg in 5ml  Diazepam liquid where I live after my Dr wrote a script for it as it ''isn't    commercially available''  ??? But you can get 10mg in 5mls? WTH??? :D

 

So he's now had to give me 2mg in 5mls so I need to know what 1ml of  2mg in 5ml solution is equal to milligram wise. Is it 1/2mg (.5mg)

With the 2mg=5ml solution, 1ml=.4mg.

 

If you dilute your solution 3:1 (add 15ml water to each  5ml of solution), you then have a very convenient .1mg=1ml solution.  No math, just move the decimal.

  Please don't kill me!!!!  :D....... :laugh: Another question, if I drew 2.5mls  pure solution out the bottle  out then that would give me 1ml of Diazepam would it not? And 1.5mls would be .5mg?

Since 1ml=.4mg...

 

2.5mls X.4 =1mg

 

and

 

1.5mls =.6mg

On the solution leaflet it says that the solution contains the equivalent 2.mg of Diazepam per 5mls so surely 2.5mls contains the equivalent of 1mg? I don't understand 2.5mls X.4 =1mg ? I understand that 4x1.5mls=6mg  but 4x2.5mls =10 not 1mg? I'm sorry but I'm really baffled now.

 

Seriously cognitive impairment I'm afraid. I need to have it as basic and simplified as possible. Think trying to get it across to a 4 or 5 year old kid that's where my brains at with numbers right now I've got the numerical form of dyslexia.One minute its Eureka!! Then its doesn't compute at all ::) My spelling has been like it for ages now it seems like the spelling is improving and I'm getting number amnesia :D

If 5ml=2mg,  then 

 

1ml=.4mg.  (explanation: 2/5=.4)

 

And since 1ml=.4mg, then

 

1.5ml=.6mg            (explanation: 1.5X.4=.6)

  Hi Builder  :hug: Ok so its 1mg+ .1mg=.5  its the decimal point that's  not helping  my cog fog either  ::)    Anyway 1mg=.4 is a  ready made cut from .5 without having to piss about with the syringe at the start  is the way I'm looking at it now, so I'll try it at that dose and hopefully I'm not going to have any problems  or reactions with the prescription  liquid contents.

 

I want to drop .4 per month (possibly .5) so if I add 29mls of water to the 1mg of solution  to make 30mls then I just pull out 1mg per day for 30 days  then I'm dropping near enough  0.1 per day just to keep it simple to understand ( I know its probably lower per day at .4)  As at .5 1mg per day  from 30mls  would=0.1  is that near enough  correct please ? Or have I got it wrong?..........again  ::)

Here's plan C, If I draw out 1.5ml per day =.6mg of 2mg in 5ml solution then 100mls should last me 166 days? It that correct? as I have 2.5ml syringes with 1.5ml clearly marked.    Well that's the answer I got back when I typed it into  Google, and I don't trust myself using Google correctly  the way my head is right now, :D I seriously  feel like I've got Alzheimer, yes I know its withdrawal but that's how bad it is right now.  :idiot:

 

As Diazepam solution liquid really expensive in UK per 100mls!!! :o It cost me £80 which is  $99.7046USD for 100mls and you can't get it in any lager sizes than 100mls so I need to use it as economically as possible, and I have no self  faith in my own judgement that I'm working things out correctly as my cognition, memory judgment and evaluation, reasoning  is truly  abysmal. :( So I would be very grateful if someone could either validate or correct any wrongs for me please . Thanks

again, just give me your current dose in milligrams, and your desired taper rate, and I will give you a very simple "no-math" procedure.

Thanks builder  :hug: I am now at 13mg but want to taper .5mg per month, and am also wondering how long 100mls of the  solution will last me at that rate as well  ???

OK...

 

13mg X 5% = .65mg

 

.65mg/30 days = .02mg/day

 

Combine 250ml of Rx liquid + 750ml water.  Now you have 1000ml dilute solution, .1mg=1mlThis will be approx an 8 day supply.

 

Now, I have done all the math for you, and here's a schedule.  The only "math" you need to do is subtract .2mls from your dose each day.

 

13mg                130ml

12.98mg            129.8ml

12.96mg            129.6ml

12.94mg            129.4ml

etc...

 

you really only need to look at the 2nd  column (milliters)  You just lower your liquid dose by .2ml each day.

Do you have the oral suspension or the oral solution?  How many milliliter total are in the bottle you were given?

Hi L  :hug: Its oral solution and 100mls in the bottle , and I'm going to be using liquid and tablets

Then the instructions are the same.  Just reduce the liquid portion  of your dose by .2ml each day.

IMO you are wise to use a combination of tablets and liquids at least to begin!

 

That’s great that you have the oral solution instead of the oral suspension.  I’ve read that there are limits on how much a suspension can be diluted (there may also be limits on how much a solution can be diluted). I don’t know ... I’m not a pharmacist.

 

How much of your 100mL liquid do you feel comfortable using to prepare a first batch?

IMO it’s prudent to ask a knowledgeable pharmacist for input before making any modifications in a prescription medicine.

 

Nova 1 will correct me, but it sounds like this is the formulation prescribed:

 

DIAZEPAM 2mg/5ml ORAL SOLUTION SUGAR FREE

 

Here is the prescriber information pamphlet:

https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/product/5783/smpc

 

Here is the patient information pamphlet:

https://www.medicines.org.uk/emc/files/pil.5783.pdf

 

Neither one mentions anything about diluting the liquid before use.  (Note that the ingredients for this formulation are different from those for either of the two liquid formulations available in the US.)

 

FYI I amended the snippets above to include my complete quote.

Hi L  :hug: What I have can be diluted as its a 'solution' which means it will stay uniform but less concentrated a suspension will not  :)

 

 

'' Performing a dilution in chemistry usually means taking a small amount of a solution whose concentration you know, then adding a neutral liquid (like water) to make a new solution with a larger volume but a lower concentration. ''https://www.wikihow.com/Dilute-Solutions 

 

So yes it does remain in''' Solution'' not change to a suspension its just less concentrated  but still uniform or even  :) In short, the medication  in the form of solution contains miscible constituents and does not need shaking before use. The medication in the form of suspension contains immiscible constituents and therefore needs shaking before use to deliver required concentration of the drug as it sediments at the bottom as the particles are  larger and heavier than the diluting agent/water .

Ok here's what I'm actually doing to save all the pissing about I have diluted 1ml+0.1ml which equals .5mg of Diazepam then I've added  in 30mls of water, I'm going to take the 30mls for a  week or two for my body to adjust to it.

 

As long as I have no problem with the liquid additives/contents  to begin with as I'm really sensitive to practically everything :D.

I then will take out 1mg per day all being well for 30 days, I have no idea what the amount is going to be per 1mg doing it that way any idea anyone?  :-\

 

As I'd like to be able to keep track of the actual amount I'm tossing so if there's any glitches I can work out how much to lower or hold my cuts by or if all goes well I maybe able to put the cuts up but I can't work it out if I don't know the overall amount that 1mg to begin with I know its small but how small??  :-\

 

Hang on I just Googled it  :thumbsup:

(.5 millilitres) / 30 = 0.0166666667 millilitre

reading-1-mL-syringe.png

 

 

Well ther's  room for manoeuvring its a tiny percent down to 0.01 but its still less if needed to slow down ???  BUT....I had to do exactly that to get off another medication liquid  in the past( OXYNORM LIQUID 5MG/5ML ORAL SOLUTION here in UK -Oxycodone USA)  as I was 60mg  and no way could I cut 1mg from 60mg  which was a big shock  as it seemed such a small amount  so for months I could only cut 0.01 a week or a bit longer  apart and as I got lower I found I was able to make bigger cuts  at the end I jumped at 15mgs with no problems as I held the 15mgs for about 2 or 3 months ??

 

Then I noticed I was forgetting to take it quite often, and I was fine no symptoms of withdrawal or if there was it wasn't noticeable, so I jumped at 15mg which was amazing seeing as I couldn't cut no more than 0.01 for months a week or two apart to begin with from 60mg?? Shame we can't do that with freaking Benzo's other wise I wouldn't be here  asking lots of lame questions due a a mashed up brain  ::)

BLERH!!!!!  :D :D :D  That Diazepam 2mg in 5ml solution  crap is horrible!!!!! even 1mg  in 30mls of water yuck!! :sick:  Just took it now 13.06pm so hopefully I'm not going to have any problems with it as its a LOT easy than doing the home brew thing and wondering, I have great expectations of this stuff I hope its  not to no avail. 

 

So I'm not paranoid about side effects etc I just hope it suits me I will be doing the happy dance as its a LOT easier to taper it in such small amounts from the off  unlike .5 per pill or even .25mg effed me up every time , and don't even go there about the time I tried 1mg a time after reading Ashton on here as its pushed on the intro page. 

 

That was my big down fall. I was doing a lot better plodding along at my own monthly cut rates of .5 a time, and the 1mg cuts sent me a 1000 symptoms I've never recovered from since, I went from living a life with some symptoms that were uncomfortable on times but still  living a life getting out socialising to house bound movement intolerant near mind  exercise ::) disabled  and spend a lot of time laying down.

 

 

It definitely needs to be diluted even if your not tapering the crap its harsh even in that amount of water I had to glug a load more water with it to get rid of most of the taste as I took the tablets and I can still taste is slightly. If Only I had been given the liquid not the tablets all those year's ago I definitely would have chucked it out as you can taste it for the poison it it, the pills just go straight down with no taste to make you stop and think about what your putting into your body
