your doc is odd. Valium has a bad rep, but that's just because of the whole "Mother's Little Helpers" thing. Valium actually tends to be easier to taper. Xanax, on the other hand, can be very, very bad. I advise you to take this slow. Very, very slow. If you have good insurance, maybe try using xanax xr to withdraw; I imagine a longer-acting dose would make the tapering process a bit smoother.
Klonopin can be pretty hard to withdraw from..its very high-potency, like xanax, but it has a long half life...in my experience, the big problems were headaches, nausea, etc.
Good luck.
