In reply to Xanax vs. Klonoptin?, posted by Searching4Ans on October 4, 2004, at 7:28:51
Hey! Both of them are some of the most potent benzos available...ever notice how xanax comes in 2mg tabs while valium goes up to 10? BUT they were developed for different reasons. Xanax was designed for anxiety, particularly panic attacks. Klonopin was developed for epilepsy (its works well on that too). Also, dosing is different. Klonopin is taken 2, sometimes 3X a day...xanax is more of an "as needed" drug. Another problem: docs underprescribe. They're miserly with the benzos, which probably contributed to your problem.
