ativan vs xanax which is stronger

[jennycoop]

Which is stronger ativan or xanax and are the side affects the same?

[cj29]

They are both fairly strong shorter acting benzos.  With a shorter half life they can be more addictive, but if taken as prescribed, they are a useful tool to use as you talk it through with a professional.  I have taken both and had no problems coming off, but remember not to self medicate...only do it with the advice and prescription from your doc.

[MrGreen]

1mg Ativan = 0.5mg Klonopin = 25mg Librium = 15mg Tranxene = 10mg Valium = 0.5mg Xanax.


So Xanax wins the race. But it is a nasty drug that you get hooked on with ease and can be a killer to come off of. So make your mind up time.
