No: Those equivalences dont' work. But you should be speaking about this with your prescriber, who knows you and your particular fear of flying, as well as your medication history and your need for length of medication action.

At hospital, i was given klonopin daily and ativan as needed. My former psych wouldn't allow Xanax (alprazolam) with klonopin. Why the difference?

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?
