> I'm afraid I've taken xanax xr. I noticed barely any diierence between it and my regular 1mg pills. No I take that back, I liked the immediate release better. Even with the XR's, I was having rebound anxiety. I found that 1mg Klonopin = 2.5-3mg xanax = 15mg Valium. But, I know everyone's body is different.
It doesn't really matter wheter you have taken the XR in the past. You didn't specify the type of Xanax and I assumed it was XR since that was what she was talking about. It became clear that you were talking about regular Xanax, because you told her that she could try Klonopin and that this way she would not have to take it more than twice a day. The XR is used once a day and in some cases twice. It would make sense if she was taking regular Xanax 4 times a day and switching to Klonopin would reduce that to 1-2 times a day. That would be a smart move. I think you are giving a good suggestion about Klonopin, but stressing that it is only once or twice a day isn't distinguishing it from the XR that she takes once a day. I think she may want to try it if the XR is not working out. There are several other reasons why Klonopin would be a good choice.
