HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

Valium contains diazepam and it has elimination half life about 36 to 48 hours. A drug needs five elimination half life to wash out completely, that means, valium need 7 to 10 days to come out of body. Accordingly you can plan your treatment. You can try some relaxation technique that would help you to saty calm. In case, you need further help, you can ask.

Thanks
