Hi,
Xanax had the worst withdrawal for me, but had the quickest onset. Ativan was somewhere in the middle, but klonopin worked best for panic attacks and some mood stabilization. Despite numerous attempts, I've never been able to stop klonopin w/o significant withdrawal- despite slow tapering outpatient or in hospital (with clonidine). What are you taking a benzo for? Sometimes the relief it supplies especially for panic attacks outweighs any negatives. Take care.
