xanax works best for me, but a lot of doctors don't like it because it does seem to cause more dependency than other benzos. it kicks in pretty fast, works like a charm for a few hours, then wears off noticeably, leaving you wanting the next dose. withdrawal is beyond unpleasant to the point of being medically dangerous. klonopin is supposed to last up to 8 hours, and it's more subtle, so if it works for you, that might be preferable. it wasn't until my pdoc was convinced that i would be on benzos long-term that he agreed to prescribe xanax. good luck!
