Hi Chemist, I made the switch from Klonopin to xanax a couple of weeks ago.... rec to my pdoc....cuz I remember you saying in a previous post that it was a better benzo for GAD...anyhow I have made the transition smoothly it seems, however I don't know if it is as effective for general social phobia and agoraphobia or just my worsening depression....I keep seeing you post that 'at least you're not on xanax.....' and I realize that the withdrawls may be difficult but why? Is it cuz of its' shorter half life or what-?
I take 2 or 3 mg per day and it does seem to make my 'internal - I am going to lose my mind type of anxiety better' but I am terrified of future withdrawls can you elaborate?
thanks
snapper
