Any better med for sedation other than benzos? i"ve tried xanax, (alprazolam) klonopin, & ativan. none work great on me but i've never had more than 1mg of each

Sedation?: YOu probably don't want "sedation." You probably want relief from anxiety. There are a number of medicines, for example SSRI's and SNRI's, which treat anxiety, hopeflly without sedation.

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?
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.
