Curious, since Valium has a half life of over 24 hours, I haven't heard of it being dosed t.i.d. on a regular basis. Usually that's reserved for something like Ativan or Xanax. In fact it can all be taken at night and the effect is still almost the same.


Although I do split up my Valium about 1/4 and 3/4, for other reasons of having a slight spike in the evening when things are worse.


But that's not a terribly large dose, in my opinion.
