Re: More effective anxiety benzos then Klonopin?

every person would recommend Xanax, which is the potent benzo of all mostly, besides Halcion and Temazepam (Restoril) which are only used for sleep.

But a doctor, i have been on Klonopin for 3 years, 1 year on Ativan and now one year on Xanax.

I do take a high dose, but for me actually Ativan (lorazepam) was helpful at 2mg. I could function during the day and not feel "down" like a downer. It just eases up anxiety, smoothly, sub-noticably.

I would ask your doctor for another benzo. This one is not working, if he wants to wack you around on higher doses do it, thats what i did, finally i said this medication is not for me. So we switched, some docs are aggressive, some arnt.

So hang in there.
