A member asked:
Psychiatrist wants to switch more from clonazepam to xanex xr will this be a hard switch to do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Probably not: The switch from Clonazepam to Alprazolam long acting is not common. If it is because of some associated depression i would look into other options before making the switch to alprazolam. At your age, i would have a distinct and time sensitive plan to get off of benzodiazepines all together.
