Prescribed Valium Before Root Canal Treatment. Is 5gm Low Dosage And Will It Have Any Side Effect?
I am having a root canal tomorrow and my dentist has prescribed 5 grams of valium, one to take tonight and one to take an hour before my appt. Is 5 grams a low dosage? Have never taken it before, am nervous, how will it make me feel, will i feel nauseous? Will I be very sleepy for the appt?

Hello,
As valium is an anti-anxiety medication, it will reduce your anxiety while the procedure, there is no need to worry about the doses it is fine.
It is not like that you will feel sleepy at the time of appointment it will just reduce your anxiety.
Thank you
Regards
