In reply to Klonapin and it's Risks, posted by Myra Ellen on March 6, 2001, at 19:15:13

> I was recently prescribed Klonapin to replace my Xanax for anxiety. I am also already on Paxil. After reading all of these things I do not want to begin taking the Klonapin. I feel that I cannot mentally afford the risk of more depression or anxiety. I am already having a lot of problems as it is. Did anyone else have any doubts and tried it anyway and had success?

Hopefully the Paxil will be enough to reduce your anxiety standalone. How long have you been taking Paxil?

The main downside of the addictive nature of the benzos like Klonopin and Xanax should be considered carefully. I have taken both Xanax and Klonopin. I liked Klonopin better because it lasts longer, you only need to dose it 2-3 times a day. Both Xanax and Klonopin are quick acting and you can switch from one to the other really quickly, so I don't see the harm in giving the Klonopin a 1 or 2 day test run.

Hope this helps,
John
