1mg Xanax = 2mg Ativan or 20mg Valium. You also have to consider onset and duration of action. Xanax is very fast-acting but only has a half-life of 6-12 hours. Ativan has a relatively quick onset with a half-life of 10-20 hours. Valium on the other hand, is a slow-acting benzo and stays in your system for days.

Will adivan show jup the same as Valium in a urine drug tests?
Having Ativan in your system will cause the result of a urine drug test to show up as positive for benzodiazepines, which is what Valium would do. So yes, they would show up in the same way.
What is better Ativan or Librium for withdrawal?
Neither. Clonazepam (Klonopin) or diazepam (Valium) would be far superior. See a psychiatrist. He/she can guide you through this tough time.
Why is Valium often perceived by doctors in a more negative manner than the more potentfaster-acting and potentially more habit-forming benzos Xanax Klonopin Ativan etc?
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.
What are some of the best medications for stress?
Benzodiazepines (Ativan, Xanax, Valium) are often used as initial therapy for generalized anxiety disorder, though discussion with your primary care physician would be helpful in determining if cognitive therapy would be useful as well.

Use good sedating drugs like valium, ativan, or versed, and use restraints if necessary to prevent the patient from injuring you
If you took Valium why would you have failed for oxazepam?
Because Valium is in the same family. Generic name for Valium is Diazepam. See the similarity?

Children should not take Ativan unless it is prescribed for them, and that would be extremely rare.
Exact equivalant in volume to 1000 cubic centimeters?
1000 cubic centimeters is a measure of volume; the only "exact equivalant in volume" possible would be in another measure of volume, such as cubic inches, cubic feet, cubic meters, etc.
If you have a prescription for Valium will xanax show up as Valium on a urine drug screen?
Valium and Xanax are both under the class of benzodiazepines which is what they both would show up as on a urine drug screen.
What drugs would show up as a benzo on a urine drug test?
Short answer: Yes They only test for key chemicals in drug tests, this way they can get a larger common denominator. Benzodiazapam is found in Valium, Xanax, Librium, Serax, and Rohypnol, however it is unlikely that any person or party would need or want to know the specific drug you are taking. If you had a prescription for Xanax and took Valium recreationally, no drug test would be the wiser. However unless you are taking large doses of Xanax on a regular basis, expect the drug to be completely out of your system in 1-2 weeks.
