Hi.I  understand  your  concern.Diazepam  is benzodiazapine  and it has dual role.It works as anxiolytic  in anxiety  and sedative .Sedative  effect  of it can lead  to  drowsiness.If you have drowsiness  then require  medicine  which no sedative  effect.Etizolam  is anxiolytic  without  sedative  effect . It can help to reduce  anxiety. Mild  dose  of  SSRI  like  sertraline  /  escitalopram  can also help in anxiety. Discuss  with  your  treating  doctor.Exercise  and  meditation  /  relaxation  methods  can also helpful.I  hope  I  have  answered  your  question .Thank  you .
