I was taking 2 milligrams of xanax (alprazolam) a day and a doctor put me on one milligram of klonopin 4 times a day is this normal and what do i expect next?

Switch: One common strategy to alleviate the addiction to Alprazolam and other short half life benzodiazepines is to switch to a longer half life agent like clonazepam. Ask your dr for the exact reason, but this could be one very good opportunity for you to wean off this addictive drug.

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?
Which would be more effective for someone with chronic and severe anxiety, xanax or klonopin. Doc thinks i should switch from xanax to klonopin.
Can you use klonopin to taper off xanax? My doctor prescribed this method but now I'm reading that Valium is better. Help?
