I don't understand it's chemical mechanisms and how they are different but I do know Xanex hits you much faster (and leaves you much quicker) which would increase your need for it (if not used occasionally).

I have taken Xanex, Klonopin (hated it!), and Ativan (first time i took it, it actually gave me a panic attack, how weird is that? ROFL).

Anyway, Xanex is the only thing I have ever taken that could stop a panic attack in it's tracks. I've only had a handful of full blown attacks (thankfully) but when I did, Xanex was my miracle drug!

Ativan helped me when I was having overall anxiety (after I got used to it) but for some reason, my dr. was not too keen on using Ativan. My doctor has no problem prescribing Xanex or Klonopin (freely) but I realized after awhile, if I would learn to breathe (and talk myself through it) I can generally avoid medicine for anxiety.

The only time I feel that overwhelming anxiety is when I have a high fever (oddly enough).

I completely rambled and hijacked your question. I apologize. LOL
