Immediate and residual effects in man of the metabolites of diazepam.

Abstract
1 Immediate and residual effects of diazepam and its metabolites on visuomotor co-ordination have been studied in man. Performance was observed from 10.0-16.0 h after overnight ingestion of diazepam (5 and 10 mg), temazepam (10, 20 and 30 mg), oxazepam (15, 30 and 45 mg) and nordiazepam (5 and 10 mg), and from 0.5-6.5 h after morning ingestion of diazepam (10 mg), temazepam (20 mg), oxazepam (30 mg), and nordiazepam (5 and 10 mg). Immediate and residual effects of diazepam and temazepam were also studied on a choice response time test.
