> 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.........

Even for a benzo-naive person, 1.5 mg/day of Ativan is too little. Despite what the charts say, it is about one fourth the strenght of Xanax.

My guess is that you might need at least 3 mg/day of Ativan, and likely more.

Ativan feels "nicer" than Xanax, though, so you'll "know" when you've reached the right level.
