You should not switch from Xanax(Alprazolam) to Klonopin(Clonazepam) right away since they are from different groups of benzos. Alprazolam is a triazolobenzodiazepine and clonazepam is a 7-nitrobenzodiazepine. Both are equipotent(i.e. 1mg alprazolam = 1mg clonazepam) but this doesn't mean you can switch right over. If you did you could suffer withdrawal from the Xanax and maybe take the conclusion that the Klonopin isn't working when it really is. You should taper over from one to the other over a period of time depending on the dose you are taking. I think "chemist" might have some good answers for you on this.
