Hi,

If you are more concerned about the effect of Diazepam (Valium), it is the Benzodiazepine group of the drug that remains in the system for a long time because of long half-life. The Benzodiazepine can cause respiratory depression and so you experienced the breathing difficulty.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
