How many Valium tabs should I take before root canal?
Patient: Last time I had a crown at my dentist and took 2 5mg tabs of valium . Did not even feel relaxed at all. Have a root canal tomorrow. How may can I take and hoe long does it take to work I am 250 lb female. I usually do nitrous but they have none. I want to feel like I dont care but not totally messed up. If I try 15mg 1 hr before and I get there and I need another one how long will it take to work? Doctor: Hi,  Thanks  for  posting  the  query,  Valium is used  to  treat  anxiety  disorders, musle  spasms  ,  siezures. Take  valium  exactly  as  prescribed  by  your  doctor  do not  take  larger  or  smaller  amounts for  longer then  recommended. Call  the  doctor at  once  if  you  feel  that  the  medicine  is  not  working or  if  you  think  you  need  to  use  more  dose  than  usual. Generally for  relief  of  symptoms  of  anxiety  the  recommended  dose is 2-10mg  , 2-4  times daily. I  would  suggest  you  to  concern  a  doctor  before taking  the  drug.  Hope this  helps  out.  Regards.....
