How often do you use Valium?

[BoogiePop]

Here we never use it. We use a lot of klonopin and Ativan, but never valium. We still have it though, but I don't know why we don't use it. I read somewhere that the Ativan was actually more potent as an ansioltic than valium, is this true?

I once asked a psychiatrist and he said the valium had more addictive properties than the Ativan and the Klonopin, but I couldn't find any source to check this.

If memory serves me right (and it often doesn't these days), Valium has a longer half-life than Ativan, hence Ativan is a bit more safe to use.
