Could be wrong and am open for new medical advice.

I've been on Klonopin for about 7 years for anxiety. I've also been on Ativan. Ativan simply made me drowsy and didn't do much for the anxiety. Klonopin has been a wonder drug for me. Two friends of mine swear by Xanax, but admit it is short acting.

Just my two cents.
