Ok, this is a pretty old thread, but didn't want to post a new one for the same discussion.
ok, I have all the common benzos on hand today, including alprazolam, diazepam, Clonazepam, and lorazepam.
my favorites in order are...
1. Clonazepam
2. Alprazolam
3. Diazepam
4. Lorazepam
klonopin is my favorite because it has the long half life, and the strength to match any benzo. It also has minor muscle relaxant properties, and overall feels the best to me. It's like all benzos in 1.
xanax is my 2nd favorite, it matches klonopin in potency, and packs a punch/rush almost instantly. But the half life is too short for it to top klonopin.
valium is awesome, love the long half life and it's ultimate muscle relaxant properties. It's not as strong as klonopin or xanax, but taken in high enough doses it can top the list of any benzo. I love valium a lot. But you need a lot to feel the desired effects.
ativan, ohhhh ativan, before I got pills of ativan, the first 2 times I've had ativan were IV at the ER, the relaxation I got from it was AMAZING. But, oral ativan doesn't feel half as good as IV, of course. That's probly why its on the bottom of my list. Because when I got it IV'd, taking them orally just doesn't compare. Still love me some ativan though.
