You do make me wonder why some people get prescribed Klonopin and some Ativan. Is there that big a difference? Anybody know?


I really think it is the half life each of these benzos posses. Xanax hits the quickest but leaves you with more rebound anxiety. Ativan is in the middle with reaction time, etc. and I think also the only one used in shot form during crisis. Klonopin stays in the body the longest so it tapers out of your system in a more gentle way.
Could be wrong and am open for new medical advice.

Sincerely,
