If valium can be fatal what would constitute an overdose for an adult?

Answer:

It would take rather a lot to overdose. The effect would be that your heart and brain slowed down so much, they’d give up altogether. The amount required depends how robust your constitution is. The main problem with Valium and related drugs is that they are habit forming. It’s a bit like booze – you start with a stiff drink when you’re facing troublesome times and you finish up needing 2 bottles of Scotch to get you out of bed in the morning.
