I'll honest... I took one last night. We had a particular difficult situation at home so i cheated it with taking my first valium. Small does at .5 It gave me a nice calm feel which did definitely take the edge off. For that moment I was calm and could think straight. Strangely it kept my mind off the two remaining tapers I had to do before getting completely off opiates. To soon to say that it truly helps. but memtally it's got me over the "i must my next fix" phase.
