You're so funny!! About the Lexapro story. I'm anxious to hear more before I take the 1st pill. I was also on Xanax 1.5/daily and switched to Klonopin without any tapering or whatever. The Klonopin is sooo much better!!
You should have no problem switching from xanax to klonopin. I was on 0.25mg xanax 4 x day for a very long time. Doc switched me to 0.5mg klonopin 2 x day. He told me I did not have to taper, that I will have no withdrawal whatsoever. He was right, I had no problem at all switching. I had no kind of withdrawal at all. Good luck.
Tapering xanax to switch over to klonopin would probably be easiest for you. Discuss a taper plan with your doc. I tapered of xanax after using 1.5mg a day for 2months. I had some difficulty doing that but I wasn't switching to another med. Having klonopin will make it so much easier. Just talk to your talk about a slow taper/switch over. They'll know best on how to do it.
hey, i never used xanax but i use klonopin (clonazepam) and it works well for me. it usually takes about 30-45 mins to kick in but when it does im clam and settled. try not to make a habit of these drugs tho they tend to be addictive, benzos dont correct the problem they only provide a temporary band-aid, im guessing your using psychotherapy as an alternative to the lexapro is actually curing your anxiety?
