10 mg of Valium (diazepam) is equal to 1 mg of Ativan (but everyone is dereffint). So 20 mg of Valium would be equal to 2 mg of Ativan. One interesting things about benzodiazepines like Valium and Ativan is that most doctors really don't think about the bioequivalence of the drugs when switching between two medications.For example, the maximum dose of Ativan is 10 mg/day (but doctors can prescribe more). The maximum dose of Valium is 40 mg/day. And doctors might go above 40 mg of Valium but not to 100 mg, the equivalent to Ativan. Xanax is the worst, 0.5 mg of Xanax is equal to 10 mg of Valium. And the maximum dose of Xanax is also 10 mg, equal to 200 mg/day of Valium and that is not going to be prescribed.
