In reply to valium vs klonopin?, posted by chloe on June 13, 2003, at 18:00:14
I'd definitely try Klonopin (clonazepam) -- it works very well for me, with no side effects beyond those that I experienced in the first week or so (mild sedation etc.). I didn't react well to Valium; I felt too drugged-out, although I never gave it a decent trial. However, my impression is that Klonopin is more effective than Valium for the average anxiety sufferer.
Klonopin is great for me, and based on the posts here, it seems to rate very highly as an antianxiety med with few side effects for most people who take it. I strongly recommend a trial with it -- just give it a week or two to get over the possible side effects, which were minor for me.
