I have just switched from klonopinKlonopin Klonopin wafer .5 mg taken 4 times a day, to xanax .5mg taken 4 times a day. I seem to be feeling a bit of withdrawal symptoms and want to know if these mg's match up or if there is a difference in the mg's of these meds. Please help
Just from my own personal experience my doctor switched me from klonopin 1 at night before bedtime .5mg to xanax .5mg instead and it caused me to have a setback. I had been on the klonopin for 12 years and after being on xanax for 2 months I started having major anxiety attacks. I went to a psychiatrist and she told me the change in meds was one of the main reasons the anxiety started again plus my GP tried me on ambian for sleep and efflexor. I had been going thru a lot of stress too. I'm back on klonopin 1.5 mg now and better but the changes really messed me up. I still have some anxiety but it's getting better. If you were doing ok on the klonopin I wouldn't risk the change.
