Very relaxing... Valium (Diazepam) is a benzo with muscle relaxing properties, so when you take it, you feel really good. But if you have to operate machinery, or even exercise (dance, etc.) then the good, relaxing feeling is not so good for you. Diazepam is a long-life benzo, just like Klonopin. If you don't like the muscle relaxation, take the Klonopin. It doesn't feel as "good", but it's even more effective. If you like to feel like floating, then Valium is the best one for you. It's good for anxiety in general.
