Dear Squiggles,
Sorry to offend you once again. The equivalency table given with your message is confusing. Not two tables are alike. Anyway I suggest you to check with American Psychiatric Association task force report on Benzodiazepines. Clonazepam is only half potent than alprazolam. The reason people think it is much potent than alprazolam is because it is more sedating. The rate of sedation is not an indicative of potency. In agitated patients 0.5 mg of alprazolam can quickly control their agitation. whereas it takes 1 or 1.5 mg of clonazepam to get this same effect. I have worked in a detoxification center and I know it from my experience.
