Are Valium and klodipin the same?

Answer 1

Despite the obvious spelling/typo error it's safe to answer this as NO. Valium and Klonopin are both Benzos, in other words they are prescribed for the same reasons often and work in alike ways on the brain. For some odd reason Valium seems to be easier to detect in a drug test. Personally I am prescribed "Clonazepam" (the generic drug name for Klonopin) and twice had my Klonopin FAIL to show up on my drug tests by my doctor and employer despite the fact I take it as prescribed every single day! Friends advise me that Valium is considered by some to be a little more additive (debatable) and many claim that Valium is detectable in a urine drug test longer.

So the answer is no, but the two meds are much alike in many ways and are often prescribed for anxiety and/or even worse- panic attacks. Other drugs in this category are Xanax and Ativan (both Name brand names). Doctors often prefer one benzo over another depending on the exact nature of a patient's attacks, with certain benzos being prefered for anxiety while other ones (such as Ativan and Klonopin) often being prefered for longer action and treatment and/or prevention of panic attacks.

I am not a doctor, but I am a patient that has been prescribed such drugs for years. They can be most effetive when other drugs don't work. They can also kill easily when too much is ingested or mixed with alcohol and/or other prescriptions. Always play it safe and live a long life. These drugs are dangersious to abuse!
