Jack,I had non-panic, non-generalized anxiety which manifested itself when I went to do my academic work. I take Klonopin 1mg bid, morning and night. I take Xanax .5mg qid--every 4 hours or so.
I'm not quite sure why the two worked so well together for me. But it seemed a natural thing to do, given that I was getting a decent but partial response with the Klonopin, and couldn't go high enough on the Xanax to alleviate the anxiety without getting depressed. I've been at 2mg on each for 3 years now.
