Diazepam

I had surgery again, and the Docs prescribed Oxycodone, and Diazepam which is a muscle relaxer. Common sense again, not doing any flying until I am off the drugs and recovered for at least a few weeks.
I am reading that these drugs are completely disqualifying, but I take that to mean "can't take while flying" or disqualifying if taken for a reason the FAA would consider disqualifying.
Is there any time limit stated as to how long a pilot has to off Diazepam and Oxycodone before fit to fly? I know Oxycodone is not so long, but how about Diazepam? As long as patient was taking it? I took it for 2 weeks, so 2 more weeks before I may pass an FAA physical?
