Can Valium be taken prior to a hip arthrogram?
Patient: 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!? Doctor: in  my  opinion  it  is  important   to  take  valour10mg  would  be  enoughanxiety  would  be  considerably  less
