I think your pill may be described here.

Valium and other benzos were never combined with other medicines in a single pill. That was only done with barbituates, which were commonly combined with amphetamines and even, in one case, an anti-psychotic.
Drug names: Desbutal (Desoxyn Gradumets + Nembutal, or methamphetamine sustained release + phenobarbital) - Dexamyl (Dexedrine Spansules + Amobarbital) - Eskatrol - a few others...
It's novel to combine an upper and a downer in a single pill, but I think they stopped doing it for benzos because it seemed to abusable. I suppose it's better, you have more control over dosing on either end. I happen to take Klonopin and Desoxyn every day. 1mg 3x/day Klonopin, Desoxyn 10mg 2x/day. Unfortunately, Desoxyn Gradumet (12-hour) pills aren't made anymore. Unlike Spansules, which are the most pathetic excuse for an amphetamine, they were unquestionably 12 hours.
