When I was prescribed Xanax, it was 0.25mg pills (what I call Tic-Tacs), and they worked as needed. Just knowing I had them there was a relief from anxiety, knowing that if I nede to take one, or two, all would be fine. K-pins are basically 1/3rd the strength of Xanax but last 3x as long, however when I took Ativan, I didnt feel shit, nor anything from an "equivalent" dose of Valium. Xanax is the only benzo that works for me (havent tried them all tho), and it basically knocks me out in higher doses. 2mg Clonopin is about 0.75mg Xanax, at least according to charts, from memory. If you took a bar (2mg) of Xanax, I think you'd definitely feel it, but BE CAREFUL with it, as amnesia is not uncommon, especially if you try to stay up or mix with other drugs.
