I wouldn't say that Xanax, Klonopin, or Ativan are more habit-forming than Valium. Valium is just as addictive and potent as those three, if not more potent and addictive. I have been prescribed all 4 at some time or another to help with my sleep disorder, and I would say that the Valium lasted longer and had a greater sedating effect than the other 3, even when comparing a relatively small dosage of Valium to a higher dosage of any of the other 3.
