Floatingbridge been gone all day for a 4.5 hour doc appoint infection guy but to answer your questions on benzos in most areas of US for some reason klonopin is first choice, valium is the very mildest and used for tapering from others even in hospitals that offer rehab as the half-life is so long. In the past I've simply switched or cut down no problem on valium. The UK valium is about the only benzo used. Xanax is the shortest acting a google search will show that. The long acting version your're on for some works well and othes need to add regular xanax as doesn't always release equally. I myself use the regular version as the long acting simply brand and generic didn't work for me. Ativan is longer lasting and now not as popular. But for while it was highly prescribed and if you take luvox as I do it's the only benzo that doesn't build up in your system to act as higher doses. Luvox has a lot of meds that are tolerant with it. Might want to google it. Valium is also an antiseizure med for withdrawal or even IV for real seizures not always. But I took valium for years am almost off it as I don't want the all day med in my system. Prefer the fast acting xanax regular as it if placed under the tongue will stop a panic attack within a few minutes. I thing valium has at time an hour to work. Check babble and see. Love Jan ps never got high on any of them but depressed on klonopin
