In reply to Lexapro and Klonopin better than Zoloft and Xanax?, posted by wiggedout on October 31, 2003, at 23:18:57

Klonopin can be extremely helpful even on its own for panic attacks (it was for me), and it has a much longer half-life than Xanax, so the effects generally are sustained throughout the day.

SSRIs cause me all sorts of problems (including severe anxiety), and I found Zoloft the worst. Many people do very well with these meds, but there are some who just can't tolerate this class of drugs. I haven't tried Lexapro, so can't comment there except to say that a lot of people on this board seem to find it helpful. But really, for anxiety, benzos like Klonopin are the most reliable meds, and can also be helpful in minimizing the side effects when you're transitioning onto a new antidepressant.
