In reply to Ativan vs Xanax---help, posted by woolav on September 22, 2004, at 19:18:12
FIrst thing, I don't know if I am right, but I think the proper conversion for Klon to Ativan is .5 of Klon= 1mg of Ativan. It sounds like yours is reversed and therefore may cause more anxiety. That is definitely worth checking. Second, Ativan is the only benzo I have been on that is good for anxiety, but doesn't overly sedate me.
> I am wondering if ativan is stronger than xanax? I was taking 2 mg of xanax for years, pdoc wanted me off of it, so she put me on klonopin. I got depressed from it. So, now she put me on ativan. But I am going from 3mg a day of klonopin to 1.5mg daily of ativan. Whats up?? Is this going to do anything for my anxiety? Is it stronger than xanax or klon??? Im confused.........
