hi there--
i used to be on klonopin, but it took at minimum half an hour to kick in, and the effect was more subtle than the xanax i was also on. i prefer xanax because it has a more potent effect and i can feel it kick in, and knowing that it's working helps me relax. but i guess xanax is more addictive because most pdocs don't like to prescribe it. i don't like xanax xr much-- it's even more subtle than klonopin and i like to feel the drug kick in and even feel the wearing off. i get 4mg of xanax a day, though, so i can pop another as the doses wear off.one suggestion i have is klonopin wafers. with my insurance, the copay isn't too bad, especially compared to some other drugs like atypicals. for me, they seem to kick in faster than regular klonopin with an onset of closer to xanax. i almost prefer them more than xanax because xanax has a bitter taste so you need water to take it, whereas the wafers easily dissolve without water and seem to work as fast. i don't know if this is just my perception or whether it's accurate. anyone have a clue? i take klonopin wafers mostly at night at about 2mg, and they help me sleep.
good luck1
