In reply to is ativan less sedating than Klonopin?, posted by mmcconathy on January 23, 2005, at 18:26:42
Ativan is much milder than Klonopin. I think of Klonopin as the go-to drug for anxiety/panic attacks, while Ativan I use for sleep, and occasional mild anxiety. Ativan doesn't actually "knock you out" the way Klonopin does--it just helps you relax so that you can fall asleep.
That's been my experience, anyway.
