For the first time, I tried .5 mg klonopin as needed during anxiety spells last month, while waiting for a higher dose of Parnate to kick in. On one particular day, my anxiety was very bad. The Klonopin was definitely a much better way to go to counteract anxiety in this kind of situation than Xanax, which doesn't last more than 4 hours for me.
I think there's something to be said for keeping a supply of Klonopin AND Xanax on hand for transient anxiety or insomnia situations--in essence having a faster acting benzo for sleep and a slower benzo to get you through the whole day if anxiety rears its ugly head once in a while.
