Valium Possible Side Effects

I was prescribed valium to help relax before my dental treatment. I was given 5mg the day before the procedure and 5mg 1hour before procedure. The pills were taken 12 hours apart. I developed severe side effects, basically attibuted to valium. It has been 5 days to the date and still feel dizzy, tired, shaky. How long will it take before the symptoms go away. I am 5'1 and wt is 120.

Diazepam, first marketed as Valium, is a medicine of the benzodiazepine family that acts as an anxiolytic. It is commonly used to treat a range of conditions, including anxiety, seizures, alcohol withdrawal syndrome, benzodiazepine withdrawal syndrome, muscle spasms, insomnia, and restless legs syndrome.

Common side effects include drowsiness, dizziness, tiredness, muscle weakness, headache, sleepiness and trouble with coordination. Serious side effects are rare. They include suicide, decreased breathing, and an increased risk of seizures if used too frequently in those with epilepsy.
