Hello, Brittany, and welcome to Psych Central! I suggest you post where you would like and make yourself at home. i

\Wow, please talk to your doc before you take the basement route. There are faster acting drugs such as Ativan.

And, yes, Klonopin is much stronger than Valium. I take it, but have gone done gradually to .25 in the morning and .25 at night. Remember that Benzos are addictive and it sounds like you are heading into that.

I also suggest you also seek therapy to help you with your anxiety and not just rely on drugs. You are getting into major dosages here. Okay?

We do have an anxiety forum here I suggest you also check out. Here is the link: (darn I can't get it to post) At any rate, it's Anxiety, under the forums, just scroll down.

Hang in here!
