Valium (Diazepam) feels like a stimulant???

So I recently acquired Valium (Diazepam) from a friend. I snorted 5mgs of it and it gave me a lot of energy and extreme confidence similar to a mild dose of Cocaine or Meth but at the same time also made me feel really chilled out like Heroin or Fentanyl. Anxiety was 110% gone. Decent euphoria, but not extreme like coke. I could talk and talk and talk to anyone about anything and felt very energetic and wanted to do everything. I enjoyed every minute of it. I was thinking that maybe it wasn't really diazepam, so I purchased some Valium pills from 2 sellers on Agora. I decided to snort some of them and got the same effects as before. I looked up the effects from Valium and some people said that insufflating it isn't very effective because it doesn't have good water solubility, but most people still reported a good buzz from it. I then tried to let 3mgs dissolve under my tongue and experienced even stronger and better effects.

I thought Benzos were supposed to make you very relaxed, tired, sleepy, etc? Now when I take a bar of Xanax, I fall asleep or feel extremely sedated. I'm prescribed Prozac and take 10mgs a day, so could they have possibly interacted to change the effects of the Valium?

So, does anyone else experience these stimulating types of effects from Valium? Are there any other benzos that cause similar/better upper effects? Any insight/experiences would be appreciated.

I will say this:

Snorting benzos wastes quite a bit of it.

That being said, the Dr took a wonderful tropical vacation a few years ago where he ended up railing diazepam off the backs of toilets in 3rd world countries he wasn't supposed to be in.

Don't really remember a whole lot of the trip, but from what I do recall, it was a very good time.

I would, however, recommend you take your valium orally.

Snorting it just seems to be a phase for most people, it gives slightly different effects.

Sounds to me like you may have insufflated a form of Methylphenidate (aka Ritalin) as opposed to Diazepam.

Side note: Benzos are not going to hit you any better if you inhale them instead of ingesting them.

If anything, try it sublingually (let it dissolve under tongue). Benzos have a distinct taste to them.

Edit: re-read your post and noticed you tried sublingual

Well, yes. If you are depressed and need a lift, then the 5 mg of Valium is going to have that effect on you. Depression is lifted a bit, and you go about your business of life... cleaning, cooking, exercising.. whatever it is that you were not doing before because from depression is lifted. 5 mg isn't a hefty dose. It is a normal dose really. Now, a bar of xanax is a high dose of a stronger, faster acting benzo. Yes, you would probably be sleepy and want to crawl into bed after taking it.

I've heard of this happening with people who genuinely have a need for benzos.
