2. 5 mgs of valium made me sleepless a year ago. today i have a muscle spasm. is it likely to make me sleepless again? . i was experiencing a temporary period of anxiety when i tried valium for the first time a year ago and i'm wondering if that could have caused the hyper feeling and insomnia. i'm not anxious now but have a very painful muscle spasm and am considering trying the same low 2. 5 dose but i'm concerned that it could cause insomnia again.
