One of the problems with other benzos like Valium, is they have extremely long half lives and tend to accumulate in your system. Plus, as has already been mentioned, they aren't as potent.Klonopin has been the only real benzo that's stood the test of numerous trials for SP.
You need to determine if your SP is more anxiety based or depresion based. I tried adding Klonopin alone and it only made things worse. But in combination with an SSRI, it worked pretty well.
