I remember a time when I was young and was first prescribed Roche Valiums. Back then they didn't have the V-cut in them. They were round, blue, had the "Roche" imprint on one side and a score, I believe, on the other side.

When the V-cuts went into production, many years later, my first experience with them was they weren't as good as the the solid round ones I had taken. I had thought to myself, they took a 10mg blue pill, hollowed out the middle of it with a V-cut to reduce the strength of it to like 6 or 7mg. I thought this because too many people, back then, were getting addicted to them so they secretly reduced the strength of them by cutting out the middle.

So there ya go. That's my take on the so-called "V" cut pill. Just go with the generics. It's the same dang active ingredient and strength. And they don't have the middle hollowed out so psycologically I think I'm getting more diazepam, as a result.
