I have back problems and I was given a drug called Flexoral for my spasms. The pharmascist told me that diazepam (valium) is a much stronger form and it will knock you out. The flexoral made me very tired. Now in Metal Gear Solid, Sniper Wolf takes diazepam to relax her muscles. She would be totally knocked out from the drug!!
Depends on how much you take. I have taken 5 or 10 mg before dental visits and still drive home after.
Hell, you also have to shoot her repeatedly with a sniper rifle. That’s one strong woman! She can probably down a bottle and still shoot a fly’s wings off. Now stop talking about MGS or I’ll go crazy waiting for MGS 2!
Diazepam/Valium was (and sometimes, though rarely, still is) used as a treatment for certain psychiatric disorders. At clinical dosages, it should not knock you out, but it will alleviate pain and make you tired at low doses, make you dopey at higher doses, and eventually knock you out.
