Why don't you just take klonopin and no diazapam. They should be similiar in effect and then you won't have to worry about mixing, although I doubt it would hurt you. It takes alot of benzodiazapene to kill you. I sometimes take mix Ativan and Ambien. I guess that's similiar to what you are doing.

I take Klonopin (clonazepam) daily, and Xanax (alprazolam) as needed. I have no problem with both at the same time when necessary, and my doctor is fine with this (I don't use Xanax very often, but it's very helpful for especially stressful situations). I doubt Klonopin and Valium would be a problem, but I'm speculating -- I would get a doctor's advice on this.
Could you possibly go to a higher dose of one, maybe divided throughout the day? I'd favor clonazepam (just because it works well for me, whereas I haven't had good success with diazepam).

Hi :-) Can you please elaborate? I am not near info, Diazepam is Ambien? or Xanax? Please see if you can get by on only 1 benzo. Your doc would be the best to talk to though. I posted about a whole show on SP on good ole OPRAH on Tuesday, I don't know where you are-but in the US it is on ABC at 3PM PST-it looks like it's going to be very good and very helpful show. Keep us posted please, I care about ya! I have had a lot of experiences on benzos-Ativan, Klonopin, and Xanax and Ambien.
Keep posting.....
All the Best,
Kristen:-)

Just to clarify, diazepam = Valium, clonazepam = Klonopin, alprazolam = Xanax, and zolpidem = Ambien.
