Hi Mr. cybershow.... I think you would definitely feel better on the valium.. Valium is specifically for anxiety. I tried to switch to the clonazepam and I felt awful on it...I don't think it works very well for anxiety, plus it also effects your seratonin receptors and levels in some way. I think klonipin is more helpful for people with depression. It never was intended to treat people with anxiety, that was pretty much an off label use.
