Guess what- every different benzo is effectivly a completeley different drug, so Klonopin and Xanax are by no means interchangeable. Not to mention that Klonopin does really bizarre things to some people, including me. Bad, bad experience. I've tried all the benzos, and they're all very different in their effects. I do 3 mgs of Xanax a day with 5 mgs of Valium at night, too much drug but better than being sick. My ex pdoc was a big candyman type, liked to overmedicate.Trileptal helps my anxiety, and as that dose rises hope the benzos can come down.
Also, I'm not surprised that the guy who invented Valium doesn't care for Xanax. A guy who can do major research for a big pharm house probably doesn't have crippling anxiety disorder, and that's what Xanax fixes. Taking heart medicine its uncomfortable for people without heart disease, and taking insulin screws up people without diabetes. Think it through.
I want Xanax XR too, and can't get it. My pdoc keeps seeing ads for it, and is also trying to see what the deal is. I'd think there'd be a big demand for it, I hate when I forget meds and the Xanax wears off suddenly.missliz
