Hello once more Fairnymph
I've revived this thread beacause I think Dr Bob archived my question before you may have had a chance to read and answer my question.
Basically I'd like to know if the absorption and efficacy of valium is more effective if taken sublingually rather than swallowed whole???
warm regards
