In reply to Alan - THANK YOU!!!, posted by dannyboy on November 4, 2001, at 23:01:45

I'm glad Alan posted that particular article it is extremely well written and I'm also glad that you realize that xanax is helping- according to my pdoc (a specialist in panic disorder) xanax is #1 and klonopin#2 for panic disorder. As for dose, xanax is a short acting benzo and most pdocs start their patients on .5mg tid and tweak, klonopin is longer lasting and you can get by on bid dosing. My pdoc has had patients on benzos for decades with no increase in dose (usually decrease) so don't worry about abuse. If you do decide to withdraw after a prolonged period you will have withdrawal effects but that's about the only negative. I've used klonopin for over 4 years at the same dose, it's a life-saver. Take care.
