> I had a doctor switch me from Klonopin to Xanax once, and he said it was what medscape said, but I was insistent, stupidly, because I thought I knew what I was talking about, not knowing erowiod is full of &%#@. So I was on an inadequate dose of Xanax XR that did nothing for me that month I was on it, and even had a panic attack (and I don't get panic attacks, I have social anxiety disorder).

>Yes, xanax is twice as potent.
