My understanding is that the big difference is the length of time that they last for. Xanax is more short-acting, Ativan a little longer, and Klonopin the longest. My pdoc likes Ativan the most, i think, b/c it is in the middle. It's not a bad drug, I think it has done good things for me. No complaints about Xanax either. never tried Klonopin.

My understanding is that these drugs are also best for short-term rather than long-term use and/or occasional use rather than everyday. Have you tried an SSRI to help w/ your anxiety on a more everyday basis?
