In reply to Lorazepam better than Clonazepam for agitation?, posted by bipolarspectrum1 on September 10, 2007, at 6:07:40

Ativan was the first benzo I ever tried, and it worked miracles at first. I was really agitated, and it calmed me down and helped me get to sleep. Then, in the hospital, I wanted something longer-acting, so they switched me to Klonopin. Klonopin is supposed to act longer, but for me, I feel Ativan more and for about the same period of time. I think Klonopin is indicated for panic disorder whereas Ativan is not, so if your symptoms are more panicky, maybe Klonopin would be better for you.
