The liver part I was talking about Ativan.. Im sorry I wasnt clearer about that!

You can make all the benzo's equal.

.5mg of xanax=1mg of ativan
.5mg of xanax=.25 mg of klonopin
.5mg or xanax=5mg of diazepam

It helps you get a better gauge if you were to switch benzos... If you were taking 1mg of Klonopin, you would need 2mg of Xanax.

If you were taking 1mg of Klonopin you would need 4mg of ativan.

Hope that helps some.

All of them are useful if given the proper doses... Sometimes it does take some time to tirate to the proper dose...

But, the Klonopin could be causing some depression issues.

A psychiatrist I talk with says Xanax can be useful for depression; although, it is not an antidepressant.
