Yes, .5 of Klonopin 3x a day is the same as 1.5 mg of Xanax. The Klonopin has a longer 1/2 life so you should not feel as edgy as with Xanax. I would not worry about seizures since you are substituting one benzo for another. Having to use a medication in order to have a normal quality of life does not make anyone of us an addict at all.
