I am researching on both these benzodiazepines as I am deciding which better suits my needs.

For the occasional peaks of anxiety I have (particularly related to going out) I currently have 0.5 mg Xanax. I am testing it out and seeing how I fair on it.

On the other hand, I have used Rivotril (Klonopin equivalent) in the past and found it reasonably helpful.

This is what I heard from my doc:
- Xanax has a quicker onset than Rivotril
- Rivotril has a more sedating effect than Xanax

What else do you all have to say about either or both of these medications? Experiences?

Also, I have used Ativan before when I had panic problems. The onset of Ativan is obviously the quickest of the three I have mentioned.
From what I have found online: ( # in milligrams)
1 Ativan = 0.5 Xanax = 0.5 Rivotril

Any feedback is appreciated.
