You where probably thinking of Rjlock....
I take 6mg of Xanax PRN i was on 6mg of Klonopin.
Lets see there really is some diffrence.
The one thing about Xanax is it wears off QUICK.
Xanax presesnts sort of a dopamine "relief" sensation, you feel better. But for me, Klonopin doesnt give that sensation.
Personally from my perscpective, Xanax does make me depressed. I dont take more than 1mg at a time.
Klonopin i heard works on serotoin receptors, i dont know where i heard that, but when i was on Cloanzepam i was, well Klonopin is a potent benzodiazepine. There is no doubt about it, it will really zone you out. But Xanax works i cant explain, somehow diffrently it is a "triazolo analog of the 1, 4 benzodiazepine class" i dont know i just looked that up on google. To just give you some info.
Xanax does zone you out, but in my opinion when you have had a very VERY stressful day, Klonopin is better. Because it decreases the brain frequency firing. I dont belive Xanax does, its not an anti-convultant like Klonopin. You dont feel that "release", it brings back down. Decreases eletrical pulse firing (Klonopin)
But also can make you depressed.
Both are very well for panic attacks. I may go back to Clonazepam.
Xanax makes you feel drunk, and you cant rerember very much at high doses. Like 2-3mg. Which i dont take. I usally take 1mg. That is why is maybe it is the MacDaddy of the Benzo's.
I hope this gave you some insight
