In reply to Xanax vs. Klonopin, posted by Greg on June 6, 2001, at 17:39:42
I had been taking Oxazepam for about 2 years.
Recently I "tolerated out". My Dr. gave me Rxs
of both Klonpin and Xanax to try.
I thought they would be just like Oxy or Valium,
which have a very calming effect on me.
But instead the K drove me up the wall - very
anxious, tense, like caffiene. I've never seen any reference to that reaction from anyone on this chat forum. What the heck is going on?The X is not bad, but not as calming as Oxy or V.
I'd like to try Ativan, but it has mention of
nervousness and exitability as a reaction also.
Any thoughts on that? I guess I'm just real sensitive to anything with the possibility of stimulants in them. I've tried all the SSRIs - man they drove me up the wall. I'm glad I have Ambien to get down from some of these. But, I have noticed that the K and X almost cancel out the Ambien. I have lots of weird reactions don't I? Especially getting insomnia from Klonopin. Most people seem to get sedated from it.
