I've used all three; Klonopin, Ativan, and Xanex.
Xanex was the most helpful for anxiety (and stopped panic attacks full force) BUT I couldn't even cut a .25 in half without falling asleep.
Mind you, I'd rather be sleepy than running around screaming that I'm suffocating and going to die. ROFL
However, Klonopin made me feel "sick." I felt like I had the flu when I would take it. It made my head feel "heavy" if that makes any sense.
Ativan on my first dose actually caused me to have a panic attack ( go figure?) but I think they gave just gave me waaay too high a dose and the initial feeling of floating away scared me. ROFL
When I was in the hospital, I was on Ativan and it helped a lot with the akathasia I experienced on Lexapro. After I left the hospital, I never took it again.
Did that answer your question? lol
