i think valium is used a lot for tapering off klonopin, so your doc could probably just switch you over to a more or less equivalent dosage of valium and see what happens.
I don't know why docs love Klonopin (and Tranxene) so much these days. Both of these meds can cause pretty bad depression--it would seem that with all the benzos available, there'd be more variety in RX'ing. Oh well.
Some docs seem reluctant to RX valium--I'm not quite sure why. Ativan might be helpful, as might Serax or maybe even Xanax XR (although xanax xr can be ridiculously $$$ w/o insurance).
