I do well with Klonopin on a daily basis and Xanax for occasional "breakthrough" anxiety.
I've developed no tolerance to Klonopin after almost 3 years of use, but quickly developed tolerance to Xanax and need more to achieve the same effect (even with only occasional use). This hasn't been a problem (I only take Xanax when I really need it), but for me, anyway, I wouldn't want to take Xanax on a regular basis.
Xanax is a great med though, and I agree that it can take care of severe anxiety very quickly (especially if dissolved under your tongue). I find that just having some with me is reassuring, even if I don't wind up using it, as is usually the case.
