Liquid solution more potent than pills? ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCE THIS?


[Gr...]

Recommended Posts

I am in the process of a diazepam taper and I just switched from completely using pills to using a combination of pills and oral solution in order to micro -taper. When I started with the solution, I actually decreased my dose from 7mg to 6.8mg. But I FEEL like I updosed. I slept better, the feeling of the benzo when it hit me felt different (cleaner, a little stronger). The only explanation I can think of is that perhaps the liquid version is more potent than the pill form. HAS ANYBODY ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS? Perhaps it's more potent because it's absorbed better? So even though I've technically decreased my dose, perhaps in reality I haven't due to higher absorption rates? I don't know, which is why I'm asking. I didn't even think of this when I started the liquid taper. Now I'm not sure if I'm going backwards or going forwards.

 

Anyone else experience this?

I did notice that the liquid form of Valium seemed to be a little more potent than the pill form. I shook the bottle up every time I took a dose too.
