Ive taken both. I was in your situation too. I took klonapin as needed and was needing it multiple times a week to almost daily. My doc switched me to buspirone and it worked for me at a higher dose. I now take buspirone 3 times a day at 15mg. I really could do the morning and afternoon doses at 10mg, but this is how she wrote my script. I feel better off the klonapin.
