Toe, in my experience I've found that the Barr Laboratories brand of generic Valium is quite good. Pretty close to the name brand. And then again nothing beats the brand name Roche, Even though they can be expensive it worth every cent. Just remember to stay away from the Mylan brand they are really weak. Another good brand is Purepac, but not everyone agrees with that. At least for me Purepac did its job efficiently. I've tried the greenstone brand of Halcion and they are really good. Everyone possesses a different body chemistry. So for some reason not everyone is receptive to generic brand benzos. I would stick with the brand name (Roche), if you can't afford it, then Barr Laboraties brand. Watson also makes a good version of Valium. The thing is they are not consistent. Some batches are good, while others are weak. When you purchase the med, ask the pharmacist when they received their shipment of Vals. The fresher the batch the better they are. Good luck on your next purchase.
