Introduction
No response after taking 5 tablets of diazepam compound; discontinue medication immediately, maintain rest, closely monitor physical changes, proactively inform the doctor of medication use, and avoid adjusting dosage on your own. Overdosing poses safety risks and must be handled with caution. If symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or rapid breathing occur later, seek medical attention promptly.

  Taking five tablets of compound diazepam without any noticeable effect requires immediate discontinuation of the medication, maintaining a resting state, closely monitoring physical changes, proactively informing the doctor about the medication use, and avoiding self-adjustment of dosage. Overdosing poses safety risks and must be handled with caution. If symptoms such as dizziness, drowsiness, or rapid breathing occur later, prompt medical attention is recommended.

  1. Immediately stop taking the medication: Five tablets exceed the usual single dose. Even without obvious reactions, you must discontinue use to prevent repeated dosing, drug accumulation, and increased risk of central nervous system depression.

  2. Maintain a resting state: Avoid physical activity after taking the medication. Rest in a quiet environment to reduce energy expenditure and prevent accidents such as falls due to dizziness or weakness.

  3. Closely monitor physical changes: Pay close attention to symptoms such as drowsiness, dizziness, nausea, or slowed breathing. In some individuals, the drug's effects may be delayed; therefore, continuous observation for 4–6 hours is necessary.

  4. Proactively inform your doctor about medication use: Contact your treating physician promptly, detailing the time, dosage taken, and lack of response, so the doctor can assess whether further evaluation is needed.

  5. Avoid adjusting dosage on your own: Do not increase the dose due to lack of effect, nor discontinue the medication arbitrarily. Any adjustment to the treatment plan must be done under medical supervision to ensure safe medication use.

  Follow your doctor’s instructions for regular medication use thereafter. Maintain a consistent medication schedule, keep a record of doses, and avoid missed or excessive doses. Avoid alcohol and coffee during treatment, and maintain a regular sleep schedule to support optimal drug effectiveness.
