Just a quick thought. everyone responds two those 2 drugs differently. I have tried both and prefer the klonopin however I was forced to stay on the xanax because the klonpin made me semi impotent......really strange and not usual for the med so don't expect it for you I am a freak...I even tried it 3 times to mkae sure and each time after about a week on the med Mr happy got droopy. I think I am the only one on this board who has had this experience......also it seems that one or the other will depress you more depending on your own chemistry.....I get a fairly smooth ride out of the xanax not much rebound anxiety etc. but the klonopin is as smooth as silk no gaps with occasional jumpiness etc. You can switch right away they use klonopin to detox people off of xanax. Your doc should know the dosage and dr bob has the equiv. charts for benzos.
