> When they wean people off benzos, they never pick something more potent to do it; it's usually something weak and very long acting like Valium.
I agree and disagree with you here.I agree that Valium, for me at least, is a much much weaker benzo then Klonopin or Xanax, but the current trend with Pdocs is to wean people on Ativan, Xanax, ect, with decreasing doses of Klonopin, not Valium.
On a side note, its so unfortunate that many Pdocs dont understand that most current A/D's including the SSRI's, simply *dont* take the place of a benzo when dealing with severe cases of GAD, PD or SP issues.
