Lorazepam vs. Clonazepam(Klonapin)

[Brando46]

Which works better for anxiety?
Does either help a little with depression?
Thanks

I like Klonopin better. But everyone is different.

Klonopin stays in your system longer.

I'm not sure if it helps with depression.

I am told that Klonapin is better . It does stay in your system longer and it does not make you as groggy and sluggish. However, everyones system is different. This drug is a godsend to me b/c I used to shake uncontrolably...and now I am on it and I don't get the shakes as much or people are not as used to it.

I've always taken clonazepam -- I believe that it is a long acting benzo compared to lorazepam (few hours) -- I read that clonazepam can actually worsen depression.

Klonopin worked better for me-Lorazepam did nothing.
