Ok i want my previous thread deleted since i still have not got the answer to my question. Right now i am scripited 0.5 klonopin twice a week, which i don't take as prescribed and take 2mg of 3 times a week (4 pills, three times a week 4 pills= 2mg 3x times a week) I don't feel the anxiety relief aspect as good as xanax which my doctor will switch me, if i feel the klonopin isn't as helpful. If i use xanax 3 times a week at around 2mg each time, would it reduce chances of physical addiction since it's short life is a lot shorter? Taking klonopin only 3 times a week stays in your system longer, which can make it more likely to have discomfort (if any at all) However xanax is in and out the system faster and works better for me with anxiety and its effects DOES last the rest of the day for me, because i am not tolerant to it.

SO if you were to only take klonopin or xanax upto 3 times a week at around 2mg each time, which would you think would reduce the possibility of discomfort or minor withdrawal if any at all?
 
For me Cloanazepam is useless and Alprazolam is very useful when it comes to reducing Anxiety. The problem with Xanax is that you are likely to experience rebound effects due to it's short half-life.

IMO/IME Diazepam would be your best choice.
 
I don't have the option of valium, but for some reason when i take a few xanax's (not the bars) it completely removes all anxiety for the rest of the day. With klonopins it reduces anxiety halfway and not completely like the xanax, and although people say it stays in your system longer, i really don't feel completely anxiety free after 5-6 hours unlike the xanax. I just was wondering wouldn't klonopin be easier to develop a PHYSICAL addiction, since it stays in your system much longer, so using it 3 times per week would be more like 5 or 6 days (most of the week). While xanax will leave much faster, am i correct or wrong? I just don't want to develop discomfort on the days that i will not be using especially if it is over a long period of time hopefully.
 
Clonazepam would be your best bet. Longer half-life and it builds up in the system overtime.

In your situation it sounds like Xanax may be the better option since you are getting sufficient duration of action without having to redose. This is normally the concern with building tolerance, whereas clonazepam will build over time even with missed days.

So if you can stick to your dosing schedule, it helps you more, go Xanax IMHO.
 
^This.

If you are looking to avoid dependence and use it sparingly for acute anxiety, the best benzo would be alprazolam.
 
Hi new here and for someone I'd consider a pill expert(not a dr or pharmacist. Xanax is the most fast acting and potent benzo available. Klonpins are longer acting buch much more mellow. I only one peice of if advice and its not to mix it with either very strong opiates ie oxycodone, oxmorphone and for no reason methadone or these could cause blackouts or death. Avoid the amphetamine family as well to prevent a life threading sppedball. I only warn you because I did a lot of what I said not to and I'm blessed to live.

Lol i can imagine this guy barred out / pinned out just making threads non stop on the subject.

GO WITH NONE you benzo monger. honestly if you go with xanax, and use it only when needed. Soon enough your gonna find that the anxiety is getting bad on the days you don't use it. And you will have to deal with rebound anxiety ,since your receptors are begging for GABA. It's only a matter of time before you become a daily user. Have fun in the depths of Benzo hell.
 
OP, you seem to have gotten your answer by general consensus :)
