Hoss, There was an article in an issue of Peak Performance about this subject. I'll see if I can find it for you (I do recall that it was supposed to lower cort and the user made tremendous gains but lost them when he stopped using val - mentioned that it was very addictive - oh well) SS ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

It makes me feel groggy the next day. Xanax is probably a better choice since the by products aren't as imposing as valium. It's basically a faster acting form of benzo's. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

xanax is very fast acting. i also use it, but it seems to give me too much memory loss... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | ||

can't get valium? Try valerian root - the main component of valium. I generally don't believe in herbal BS but this stuff did help quite a bit and I was a skeptic when I took it. No - its not as potent as valium but better than nothing at all. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
