You'll be fine. Think of it this way--Valium is only 1/20 as potent as klonopin. So, 15/20=.075mgs. You basically took slightly less than 1mgs Klonopin, although there's way more sedation. For some reason, doctors tend to under-dose Valium compared to other tranquilizers; I guess the "Mother's Little Helper" reputation is part of the problem.

Anyway, back when Valium reigned supreme in terms of sales, the standard dose was 30-40+mgs/day (3 doses of 10 daytime; optional 10mgs night time dose).
