My understanding is that usually Xanax -> Klonopin works fairly smoothly and effectively. Your mileage is obviously varying. Did you go directly from 1mg xanax to 1mg klonopin? In general I think that when switching drugs an overlap period should be used, even for a benzo to benzo switch. Also, however much the doctors may say that one benzo can substitute for another benzo more or less arbitrarily, many people have found that pariticular benzos work better than others. Perhaps you might consider switching back to Xanax. Klonopin may just not work for you. I know I have a definite preferernce for Xanax; it just seems to work better for me.
Be well,
Britt
