Is Diazepam A Good Alternative Of Xanax?

My doctor prescribed me diazepam to calm me before a medical procedure! I ve never had it before and I m nervous to use something I ve never had before for fear of side effects! I ve had xanax before and it helped without side effects! Is diazepam similar and should I be concerned about negative side effects?
