I've done it, and just substuting the same dosage of xanax with klonipin was pretty painless. If it's an issue with you, you could do as the experts recommend and take half your dose of xanax, half of klonipin for a week or so, then go completely to klonipin. I'm on Valium right now and would much prefer to be on klonipin. Actually, i'm almost out of valium and have (hopefully!) klonipin successfully on it's way here. I take 30 - 40 mg of valium daily, usually 30 but every few days it seems I need an extra one at night for sleep (yeah.... tolerance. I know). When I switch, i'll probably easily go from 30 mg a day to 2-4 mg of klonipin, then slowly move the klonipin dosage down to 2 mg per day. I find that klonipin has less side effects (and the desire to take just one more) than most benzos i've been on, except maybe nitrazepam. One thing I discovered that works great for me for sleep & keeping the tolerance more in check is to take 1 melatonin pill (OTC) with my benzo at bedtime, and within 30-45 minutes my insomnia has gone away and i'm yawning, which is a Very Good Thing™. Usually melatonin by itself does next to nothing for me, but combined they seem to have a bit of a 1+1=3 kind of thing.... synergy? My vocab is in rehab today it seems. Anyway, don't worry too much about it because truly, if you think it's going to be difficult, it will be, and it also works the other way around in this case, IME.
