> I'm thinking of asking my doctor about switching from alprazolam to clonazepam because of its longer half life, so less interdose rebound anxiety etc, and want to get my numbers right.my experiences with these drugs is that they are two different animals and equivalancy is not a factor. xanax is meant to get you high and i read a chart that said its anxiolytic effect is lower than clonazepams 3 stars for clon 2 for xan.
clonazepam is more of an antiseziure at heart and stablizes your mood as opposed to getting you high and is probably better for true panic attacks in my *cough*humble opinion
dont get me wrong i like xanax but just to get manic ;)
