You're reaction to clo. is not necessarily the rection that you would get on the other benzodiazapines. It's as highly variable for the BZD's as it is for the ssti's for instance. It's all very individualised. I found this out through years of experience and trying xanax, Ativan, valium and clon - after giving up on the fact that the AD's were not designed for anxiety, at least for my disorder.I'm presently taking clon daily and PRN ativan for breakthrough panic. Also there's a 1 -2 week period start up period for BZD's that there is additional sedation that will wear off. Could that have caused what you are talking about?
Give the others a try IF you indeed have a legitimatley diagnosed anxiety disorder.
