what's the most powerful benzo...

I am looking for a benzo that will really lower my anxiety. Tried ativan and klonopin. Klonopin does it's job well, ativan also, but ativan is shorter acting. Can anyone recommend a long acting strong anti-anxiety other than klonopin

Thanks

Re: what's the most powerful benzo...

Valium has a longer half life because it is highly fat soluble.

Klonopin mg for mg is twice as strong as Xanax - Xanax mg for mg is twice as strong as Ativan.

.25mg Klonopin=.5mg Xanax
.5mg Xanax=1mg Ativan
1mg Ativan=.25mg Klonopin.
.5mg Xanax=5mg Valium

Re: what's the most powerful benzo...

when i am really anxious i start to take a klonopin in the morning and one at night. usually takes about 2 weeks to get me calm. then i start to feel tired in the morning so i cut back to the one at night. after a few weeks i can even stop that one. i find that you have to keep a level in your body until you are passed that bad stage. while i'm taking the 2 a day i have alot of long talks with myself to get a grip on what's causing the horrible anxiety. that seems to help also.

thanks for help

Thank You

Well I've already have been on Klonopin numerous times, and looks like that's the best out there. Valium has a longer half life from what you posted, but is valium a good anti-anxiety drug to take. I hear alot people taking Xanax..My Dr. has never prescribed me Xanax. He told me it has a very short half life, but it's suppose to be strong apparently. Klonopin wafers are quick and long lasting, so I'll go back to that I guess. Anyone taken valium, and any good/bad experiences.
