xanax you'll go into straight seizure. i've WDd from both, xanax is worse. if you're on a high enough dose of klonopin you'll end up in the ER if not properly weened a few times
xanax sucks, it makes you groggy, eyes heavy, makes me mean atleast, and you can tell when you're coming off it, making it addictive cause you go straight into panic attack and need another one asap cause your anxiety hits you at once.
i take klonopin everyday and it's the best benzo imo cause it lasts all day due to it being TR and it has a long half life. i'm prescribed 4mg daily though but i need about double that some/most days. both are very addictive and your tolerance will build FAST.
as far as danger i've eaten over 10mg of both before and some people on here have eaten 20mg before and functioned. one guys girlfriend at 45mg of klonopin and did heroin and lived. blacked out, but functioned. i've never blacked out but it all depends on your tolerance. someone with 0 tolerance can eat a .25 xanax and sleep all day. you'll go to sleep before you die although benzos do slow down your CNS it's hard and stupid to OD on just benzos alone, alcohol needs to be involved for bad reactions

^no, any of many other CNS depressant can lead to fatal or just bad results with benzos. also, benzos alone in high doses can quite easily make you blackout and do regrettable things.
xanax tends to be a particularly addictive benzo because it comes up quick and strong but does not last long.

Xanax withdrawal is seizure-ville. Its brief and similar to the sting of the Tarantula Hawk - "Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric."
Klonopin withdrawal, IMLimitedE, is slower, more drawn out, and lame.
In terms of addiction potential, I'd say I know way more Xannie heads that K-pin wankers.

Benzo withdrawal in general sucks, I have been thru heavy xanax WD cold turkey, and klonopin WD cold turkey.
Now if I had to pick, I would have to say klonopin would be a little easier to WD from, simply because of the longer half life and it has anti-convulsant effects in the first place which would linger for a while in your body, after cessation. Xanax has no anti-convulsant effects, and is a shit benzo on all fronts. Black out-ville, to seizure-ville in 24 hours if you're high enough daily dose.

Hey, please use the search function, as these kinds of questions have been asked and answered plenty of times all over Bluelight.
There is no easy answer to this question and being both high potency benzos, I'd say they are equal in their ability to produce physical dependence. Xanax is probably harder to come off of because it is a shorter acting agent and shorter acting agents tend to have a shorter, but more severe withdrawal syndrome.
This is how it plays out with all benzos.
