Greg:

I used klonopin to taper off Xanax. It covered Xanax withdrawal symptoms and its long half life made for a smooth and relatively uneventful taper.

The one thing I noticed- and like everyone says, we all seem to react differently to these meds- is that Klonopin was, for me, quite a bit more sedating than Xanax, even at .5mg. In fact, I've kept it for p.r.n. use as a sleep aid for those nights when my bad insomnia hits. Xanax was mildly sedating, but klonopin is for me a stronger sedative (and longer lasting) even than Ambien. I've been told that tolerance eventually develops to this side effect, but I've never taken it continuously for long enough for this to happen.
