Xanax: The drugs are both anxiolytics and have similar effect I would not worry about the side effects that are coming

Well: Xanax is a powerful but short acting medication. Klonopin is a long acting medication and 1mg may be a higher dose than you tolerate well. I would check with my prescribing doctor straight away.
