Is it posible to ctb with valium?

[BigBang1]

Could someone die from a Valium overdose, say 100 mg(or more if necessary) ? If so, what would it be like? Has anyone shared their experience on the forum? I couldn't find any. Thanks in advance.

no

No. I take valium every day but it does not kill, even in very high dose. Don't try it

No, we would all be dead on here if that was possible

No, it is not. You can find the LD50 for most drugs online (granted, in rodents, not humans, for obvious reasons.) And even if one were to take the LD50 or more their body would likely not be able to keep it all down and it would just lead to being put in the psych ward.

The family of meds that includes Valium, benzodiazepine (or benzos), has been referenced quite a bit here, tho maybe not Valium specifically. It's frustrating that these meds are ineffective for CTB & that more effective meds (like Nembutal) are largely inaccessible.

Barbiturates, formerly very common until the 1970s, modulate GABA-A receptors by directly opening the chloride channel at high concentrations; i.e., they can keep it open even when there is no endogenous GABA available, leading to extreme respiratory depression, coma, and death. They also possess very small therapeutic margin, because the dose used to induce sedation is close to the dose that is potentially lethal, so a fairly modest overdose is lethal. Benzodiazepines, as the safer alternative, produce another type of effect: rather than opening the channel itself, they enhance the receptor's affinity for the available GABA, thereby enhancing its effect. This creates a ceiling effect beyond which there is no further increase in respiratory depression, a feature that renders overdoses by themselves infrequent to kill. In combination with other central nervous system depressants like alcohol, opioids, or barbiturates, however, they have an additive effect that can result in respiratory arrest. Valium is a trade name for diazepam, so we are dealing with a benzodiazepine.
