> 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.

*********************************************
I'm taking for social phobia. Works wonderfully for me....just have to manage carefully. I augment with a little Neurontin to alleviate the symptoms of the ativan going in and out of my system when situations aren't presenting themselves (away from work environment). The Neurontin stabilzes my mood during those periods. Also ativan for specific phobia.
