Xanax vs. Klonopin
| Thu, 08-25-2005 - 3:37pm |
Has anyone taken both and can tell me what the difference is? Seems like the more xanax I take the more I need. I currently am taking 1mg 2 to 3 times a day. I want to have an alternative to suggest when I finally see my pdoc in September.
Thanks for any input.

Here are both meds on the PDR site.

Good question,I've always wanted to know the difference myself.

I have only taken klonopin but when talking to my Dr and choosing one I choose klonopin because it stays in your system longer the BUT it takes longer to work then xanax.
Xanax works faster but doesn't last as long..
For me the klonopin is a better choice because by the time I gave in and got a med my anxiety was constant and didn't come and go so the klonopin has been great in keeping me level.
