In reply to Re: why can you take so much more Klonopin than Valium, posted by woolav on May 11, 2005, at 5:51:55
> hi, phillipa is right. klonopin (which i take) is really for seisures. valium is an anti-anxiety drug/muscle relaxer. I guess it depends on what you are taking it for. I do take klonopin for panic disorder/social anxiety and it works better than xanax, valium or ativan. Its been a wonder drug for me. FYI i take 3mg daily of klonopin..
> SValium does almost zero for my anxiety anymore, though it never accelerates to panic. Part of the reason is my small dose of beta blocker, metaprolol 12.5 mgs a day, holds off palps and keeps my bp down. My panics seem to really take off with the heart thumping. May do a klonopin crossover. Will it help or make things worse? Only one way to find out. This much I know, for me at least Klonopin withdrawals are a much wilder ride than Valium, not saying the latter is any picnic. Is what has held me off...
