Can Valium Be Taken Prior To A Hip Arthrogram?

I have to have a hip arthrogram done. No offices in my area offer iv sedation for the procedure. Instead the have given me two Valium 10mg to take before the procedure. I have SEVERE anxiety. The thought of being awake during this procedure is terrifying to me. I’m 130lbs (female) will 10mg be enough to make me sleep through it!?
