Librium is like about 1/10 of the resulting potency of Valium, which is why Valium became the default when Librium was released around 1959-1960 and Valium became the seller in 1962. Librium is still used for alcohol detox, I guess primarily because its so weak that abuse by patients would be inhibited. Valium doesnt have, at least in the US anyway, nearly the street value of Xanax, and Klonopin I doubt has much at all.
