I think it is just because there are more efficient benzodiazepines. Valium is a long-acting benzo, and I think Klonopin is given more becuase it has less potential for abuse (for whatever reasons). There are now also the shorter-acting drugs like Ativan and Xanax which are more helpful to patients with certain conditions.
