> I agree valuim is worse.... much much worse.. can cause seizures all sorts, was loads of documentarys on tele about valuim.. lots of law suits going on also, my advice to you is to just come off klon slowely as possible, 1/2 for a week, 1/2 every 2 days etc etc.. talk to your physc about it...

http://www.benzo.org.uk/ probaby has the best advice on the net about quitting Benzos.
