> It really is a matter of personal preference. I love Klonopin for sleep b/c it is so long lasting. But for anxiety during the day I prefer Ativan - no active metabolites, no hangover feeling (at least for me)
> I personally cannot stand Xanax. It does next to nothing to help me and it gives me a yucky hangover feeling. But there are *lots* of people who love it. And it's good if you have panic attacks b/c it acts very quickly.
> Valium I've never tried, and probably never will, b/c I'm gonna have to say goodbye to the benzos...sniff...I have so much tolerance to them...yes, I will admit I am completely physically addicted...that now it would take way too many tablets to have even a bit of an effect on me, and I kinda like my liver. My pdoc has switched me to Tegretol for anxiety and it's been great.
> KatI have switched from clonazepam to alprazolam and so far it has been good, I'm still tweaking the dose so I'm not sure where it will end up. Diazepam never felt strong enough for me, but I have never taken 40mg in a single dose -which would roughly corr. to 2mg clon- either so.. I guess it will take a week or so before I know how this will work out for me.
