> hello there....valium is 10 to 20 times more potent than klonopin, which seems contrary to the observation that valium is usually dispensed in the 5 to 20 mg range (per day) while klonopin is in the 0.5 to 3 or 4 mg range (per day). all the best, chemist

Actually, on a dosage comparison basis, 1 mg of Klonopin would correspond to an equivalent dose of 10 mg of Valium (approximately). This has nothing to do with potency, although potency is really not an issue when comparing benzos strictly for their anxiolyic properties.
