When my husband, Gordie, goes to the dentist, eye doctor, etc. he takes a 5 mg diazapam which is generic Valium. It calms him down and the doctor can do what needs to be done. We do not use this when he goes to his neurologist, because we want her to see how he really is doing. His doctors have approved of him taking this medicine for other appointments or when he wants to go to dahlia club or somewhere. Of course a person needs to check with his or her physician as medicines and treatments differ.
