Which is better, xanax (alprazolam) or klonopin for anxiety?

Anxiety meds.: That depends on type of anxiety, whether panic or generalized anxiety, and on individual susceptibility.

Xanax (alprazolam) and Klonopin: there is no such thing as "better", "best or "worst" medication, only those that work and don't work, based on the patient's individual circumstances and genetics.
