A member asked:
I am prescribed klonopin for anxiety. it is not doing anything for me. i've even up'd my dosage through a doc. would ativan or xanax (alprazolam) help better?

Not necessarily.: Although your dr could do a trial on a different benzodiazapine. I don't see any non-medication treatments listed - it is very important. Cognitive behavioral therapy can be quite effective. Psych meds may be indicated. Aim for daily exercise, 8 hours of sleep /night ; good nutrition w 5 servings of veggies ; 4 of fruit per day. Try tai chi, yoga, qi gong ; progressive muscle relaxation.

Which would be more effective for someone with chronic and severe anxiety, xanax or klonopin. Doc thinks i should switch from xanax to klonopin.
0.5mg Klonopin = 0.5mg Xanax (alprazolam) = 0.5mg Ativan in terms of strength? Which is "best" for fear for flying/claustrophobia on airplane? I can't tell.
