Matt and Panda are right -- Klonopin is typically a medication that can be taken each 8-12 hours (though there are some anomalous situations, such as my bipolar next-door neighbor who takes it six times daily). Valium (and perhaps Tranxene) may be good choices to help with benzo withdrawal (analagous to Prozac for withdrawal from short T1/2 SSRIs), but must be taken constantly to remain effective. Valium usually wears off after two hours, three tops. There is extended-release Valium though... do they still make Valrelease?
