In reply to VALUIM ? XANAX? KLONPIN ? --the difference plse?, posted by crazychickuk on March 10, 2004, at 16:21:07
Klonopin has a long half-life (=lasts a long time) and is very mild but extremely effective for many people. It also can have mood-stabilizing properties. That would be my top choice, from what you describe.
Xanax is great, but wears off quickly and has a greater potential for tolerance (=you need higher and higher doses to relieve anxiety). My advice is to use it occasionally, although this will vary among individuals. It's also much harder to get a prescription because there's a stigma attached to it.
I hate Valium -- it just makes me sleepy and disoriented. But that's just me; others do very well with it.
