Thanks. I don't intend to take that much Klonpin, though. Probably more like 0.5 - 1.0 per day.

I've heard a lot of people say that mixing uppers and downers is something terrible. But I've never come across a credible explanation.

They may use Valium because of its pharmacokinetic profile. It lasts a very long time, and when it comes on, it comes on strong, which could help you get to sleep.
