Phillipa, I don't think the 20:1 comparison of valium to clonazepam is useful except for tapering or switching benzos--while they are in the same class they have different potency, effects and average dosages per day. It is somewhat like saying that 151 proof rum is 20-30 times stronger than beer or 10-12 times stronger than wine-- it is really a matter that 1 oz of alcohol equals 1 oz of alcohol. Does that make any sense
