Anxiety
"I&#039;ve taken klonopin off and on for many years and I have to say it is very effective and much longer lasting than xanax. I&#039;ve been prescribed xanax as well and it is effective, but I truly believe it shouldn&#039;t be taken on a regular basis, especially several times a day. It&#039;s fast acting and it helps with panic attacks and similar situations. But to take it day in and day out seems ludicrous. Klonopin has a much longer half life and I don&#039;t feel withdrawal when I come off klonopin, that&#039;s not the case with Xanax. Not only that, on Xanax I was finding that I would have periods of forgetfulness, meaning periods of the day. I was at a job interview and I really couldn&#039;t tell you what was said by me or the interviewer. I did get the job however."
