A good, if irreverent place to compare benzos is crazymeds.org. I'd get the brand name for starters, anyway. 1-2 mg klonopin is equivalent to 1-2 mg Xanax, so the 0.25 mg Xanax no doubt felt a bit light. I'll bet 0.5 mg Xanax would work well...but...different people like different benzos and I think the only way to find out what works for you, unfortunately, is to try them out. I'd try Valium and Ativan-there are people that post here that are really advocates of both. Ativan has the advantage of being painless in terms of withdrawal,in my experience, should you end up taking that much, that long. I wouldn't use the Xanax XR myself...it just doesn't seem to be as effective as Xanax ER, even though that doesn't make sense.
