> I feel different when I take clonazepam from when I use alprazolam. Like alprazolam relaxes me more and affects mood in other way also.

Klonopin, Valium, and Librium are long half life primarily anxiolytic and anticonvulsant benzodiazepines.
Ativan and Xanax are short half life mostly anxiolytic and somewhat sedative benzodiazepines.
Restoril, Dalmane, Halcion, and (where available) Rohypnol are sedative-hypnotic mostly.
