Moonshade,

I agree. When I first got diagnosed with anxiety & panic, I was prescribed Xanax. I've tried other benzo's since then, but none of them have given me the same level of effectiveness as Xanax for my condition. I guess since I knew that they had worked for me in the past, and the others that I've tried gave me unwanted, longer lasting grogginess effects, that's why I've always stuck with them.

Now it seems as if a lot of doctors are starting patients off with Klonopin, since it's supposedly "safer" than Xanax or Valium, but for me, the side effects I get from taking it just aren't my thing. To each his/her own, I suppose...
