I recall my husband and I did a search and
came up with something like 20 equivalence tables;
most show K to be twice as potent as X; however,
this is not a meaningful comparison for as you
state it may be something like sedation.If it has any meaning i would say look at the
effects when the drug is taken away and compare
and look at the other effects. Xanax is good
for quick acute anxiety, having a short half life,
whereas K is good for a longer period AND is
a strong anti-convulsant.So there may actually be a qualitative difference.
And comparing them must beg the question comparing
what.
