Substitution has gone well, and I really like Ativan now much better than Klonopin or Xanax<<<<We are all different. I cant take Ativan as it affects my memory in a bad way and Xanax does not have that SE for me.
> But is it a drug which is hard to quit at this dosage? ie. 4mg daily?<<<<Which ever one you like better will be the one most difficult to come off of. Most Benzos cause dependance, but some more then others.
Klonopin is often used to get many people off of Xanax and Ativan.
