> sanpper, may i give you my experience? klonopin was much less an antoregrade amnesiac than xanax. i have taken both for long periods of time, and found that xanax is, for me, the best. of course, you have to watch your xanqx consumption, bit in my opinion, it is cleaner than klonopin. the upside is that if you are anxiety-prone, xanax is more likely the answer. your thoghts? all the best, chemisthi chemist, I would probably have to say for me that having short term memory problems to begin with that I will be glad when I am off of the xanax. I def. noticed a pro-nounced and very mark difficulty when I cross tapered from klonopin to xanax a few week back. Yes I am very anxiety prone and I have panic problems even while on the benzos (et al) my battle with anxiety and depression goes back 14 to 15 years and it just seems to be getting worse. I am so frustrated because I used to have a razor sharp memory! It will be interesting to see what happens when I am off of the xanax and have my round of ect, and then see if I can maintain with out the benzos!
Also , knowing what I know ... I would have to agree the xanax is a cleaner drug-but efficient dosing for me is problematic. I also believe that K hits more receptor sites ( correct?) My depression and anxiety present themselves in such painful and physically different ways - I am miserable 98% of the time that I am awake- I have very sensetive hearing- noise really gets on my nerves, I am full of lots of psychic tension and most meds just don't seem to do much for me-I am praying for miracles :)....It is such a pain to be alive ...yet I want to enjoy life again...sorry for rambling and thanks for your thoughtful input...and any more input would be welcomed
