Jms600,
Klonopin is great for long lasting, 'deep' control. It has mild mood stabilizing properties. I also found it had a depressive effect on my mood.
Xanax has always been my emergency med--it works very well, and is a muscle
relaxant--good for opening the chest and
breathing. For all day control I take generic Xanax XR usually twice a day. I take it prophalactivally twice a
day. Release is sustained and smooth without discernible peaks and valleys. I've blind tested generic vs brand Xanax xr and sensed no difference.
Instant release Xanax is still my emergency med.Librium--has anyone had success with that? Not I!
Ativan I thought of for acute panic--that's the only time I had it administered by injection.
Valium--I haven't tried it.
good luck!
