I know Klonopin takes more time to take effect, but when it reaches its peak, does it work similarly to Xanax in anti-panic wise.
Klonopin makes me feel lousy, at 2mg. Sometimes at 1mg.
I havent asked much about Xanax becuase it has a short half life.
Xanax XR?
Does anyone know some information.
Greatly Appri.

i've only taken plain xanax. it kicks in fast, which is great if you need it right away. i liked that for panic. that was usually all that i needed. take one; it kicked in; didn't need another one.
i felt more normal (whatever that means) and in control with xanax. with klonopin, i am not as edgy. somebody made the point that xanax treats panic, while klonopin prevents it altogether (my bad paraphrase.) but that's kind of how i feel about the klonopin. i find klonopin helps with calming my thinking. but if i end up having panic, it's a pain to wait 10 mins for it to kick in when xanax would have kicked in in 1 min.
i've tried ativan several years ago. it made me feel like crud. lots of residual i don't know what, but i didn't like it at all. depends on your body chemistry i guess.

Link, they have a new wafer xanax that melts on your tongue. Also put xanax under your tongue it works faster then. I hate klonopin! Fondly, Phillipa
