A member asked:
Can someone please explain to me the difference between: 1. xanax and klonopin, 2. different add vs. adhd medications and 3. opinions on pristiq (desvenlafaxine)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3 for 1: 1.Klonopin lasts 20 hours, xanax only 4-8- so more likely to get rebound anxiety on xanax and more feeling dependent. Keep doses low of either. 2)add = adhd names changed to sell more books. 3)pristiq is a weaker version of Effexor (venlafaxine) with fewer side effects except on your wallet.
