A member asked:

What's the highest recommended dose of valium that can be taken at a time? i took 25 mg and felt nothing and it was not a paradoxical reaction.

Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Stop: If you gad no response or if you had a paradoxical response then this medicine is not for you. It would be better to try another technique or approach to your problem. You definitely should not take more.
