Hi Sandy,

As I've tried both, I think I can give a fair assessment. As a matter of fact, I found Klonopin to be stronger than Valium. The doc started me on 10 mgs of Valium, but this really didn't do a hoot for me except diarreah (talk about 'adverse events'!).

I also have PTSD due to sexual abuse as a child. Klonopin was quite effective at keeping the 'stress' at bay. I took 1.5 mgs for about a year.

> My PTSD is raging out of control. On Thursday my doc is starting me on Valium because he wants me to have a longer-acting benzo. I'm on clonazepam now, but I need too high of a dose on it. I've also tried the other benzos.

> Anyone have stories relating to Valium? It shocked me that he even offered it. I know that docs don't like to prescribe this one, for some reason. Thanks.
