OP here. I have tried Xanax in the past with little to no effect.

Just so you know, Klonopin is even less effective. I am not sure why the doctor would even give you this.

Not OP. Stop giving medical advice. This a decision for OP’s doctor and OP. OP did not ask for feedback on whether the doctor chose the proper med.

I personally find klonopin to be extremely helpful. I will take it daily for multiple weeks and then go off for a period and haven’t personally had any issues with it.

Who is giving medical advice? I shared my experience after taking it for an entire year at the direction of MY doctor. He prescribed it for daily use at bedtime, which is borderline malpractice. So no, I will not stop sharing because it offends your fragile mind. It's also very rich that you would proceed to share YOUR experience with it just like I did. The stupidity is unreal.

You or someone else is saying that Xanax is better than Klonopin, that Klonopin doesn’t work, and that the dose is probably too low. None of these is true. To be clear, this isn’t sharing your experience. That would be saying, “I didn’t find Klonopin effective and preferred Xanax.” Instead you spoke as though your experience was universally applicable.

Are you a medical doctor with a specialty in psychiatry? If not, your personal experience with the drug is just as valid as mine. You aren't going to silence me boo.

No one is “silencing” you. You haven’t been speaking about your personal experience. You’ve categorically labeled drugs as more and less effective and question OP’s doctor’s prescribing decisions.

Because I've been on them. Get lost.

Your behavior is bizarre. Your experience is valid. Your extrapolating your experience into a general rule universally applicable is not.

I too have been on those medications and appear to have had a very different experience from you.

It's bizarre to attack me for sharing how I reacted to the medication while expecting OP to take your experience as more valid than mine.

No one attacked you. I said it’s inappropriate to give medical advice, which OP was not seeking. You made categorical statements about the effectiveness of two drugs, questioned OP’s doctor, and made no reference to your personal experience at all.

And I wasn't giving medical advice. If you knew anything about the medication you're taking you'd know that doctors start everyone on the lowest dose which in vast majortiy of cases has zero to very litte efficacy. Perhaps educated yourself before you start pickig dumb fights online. It's so weird that you're so fixated on me. Get help.

I would trust your doctor over google or asking here. If he said it’s ok, I think you are ok.

It’s odd how obsessed you are with having the last word here. You continue to refuse to speak to your specific experience and making sweeping, unsubstantiated statements about effectiveness and dose. It’s not appropriate, responsive, substantiated, or medically sound.

No one is getting addicted to ativan taking it before occasional flights. It is very easy to take ativan responsibly and doctors are not doling out a whole lot of them. My prescriber will only do 10 at a time. If OP is going to pound 10 pills in 10 days or less and ask for more right away, the doctor will figure it out or if OP doctor shops around to get more right away it will be seen. All of this stuff is now tracked pretty carefully.

People should take drugs that can help them if they need them. Of course, be smart about it and aware of the risks if taken inappropriately. But taking these types of drugs safely is entirely possible.

“Dumb shit” like saying general statements about drug efficacy should be supported by empirical evidence.

To be clear, this isn’t sharing your experience. That would be saying, “I didn’t find Klonopin effective and preferred Xanax.” Instead you spoke as though your experience was universally applicable.

Are you a medical doctor with a specialty in psychiatry? If not, your personal experience with the drug is just as valid as mine. You aren't going to silence me boo.

No one is “silencing” you. You haven’t been speaking about your personal experience. You’ve categorically labeled drugs as more and less effective and question OP’s doctor’s prescribing decisions.

Because I've been on them. Get lost.

Your behavior is bizarre. Your experience is valid. Your extrapolating your experience into a general rule universally applicable is not.

I too have been on those medications and appear to have had a very different experience from you.

It's bizarre to attack me for sharing how I reacted to the medication while expecting OP to take your experience as more valid than mine.

No one attacked you. I said it’s inappropriate to give medical advice, which OP was not seeking. You made categorical statements about the effectiveness of two drugs, questioned OP’s doctor, and made no reference to your personal experience at all.

And I wasn't giving medical advice. If you knew anything about the medication you're taking you'd know that doctors start everyone on the lowest dose which in vast majortiy of cases has zero to very litte efficacy. Perhaps educated yourself before you start pickig dumb fights online. It's so weird that you're so fixated on me. Get help.

It’s odd how obsessed you are with having the last word here. You continue to refuse to speak to your specific experience and making sweeping, unsubstantiated statements about effectiveness and dose. It’s not appropriate, responsive, substantiated, or medically sound.

So move past it and leave me alone. Others are capable of deciding whether to take what I say to heart.

but again, you have no idea what you're talking about. You just think you do.

I’m speaking from my personal experience about my personal experience. So I do very much know what I’m talking about.

Are you a psychiatrist? A physician at all?

AND SO DO I!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why don’t you just say, “I didn’t personally find Klonopin to be as effective as Xanax”?

Because I wasn't the one talking about Xanax at all, moron. Why don't you just leave me alone? You've said your peace.

OP here. I have tried Xanax in the past with little to no effect.

Just so you know, Klonopin is even less effective. I am not sure why the doctor would even give you this.

Not OP. Stop giving medical advice. This a decision for OP’s doctor and OP. OP did not ask for feedback on whether the doctor chose the proper med.

I personally find klonopin to be extremely helpful. I will take it daily for multiple weeks and then go off for a period and haven’t personally had any issues with it.

Who is giving medical advice? I shared my experience after taking it for an entire year at the direction of MY doctor. He prescribed it for daily use at bedtime, which is borderline malpractice. So no, I will not stop sharing because it offends your fragile mind. It's also very rich that you would proceed to share YOUR experience with it just like I did. The stupidity is unreal.

You or someone else is saying that Xanax is better than Klonopin, that Klonopin doesn’t work, and that the dose is probably too low. None of these is true. To be clear, this isn’t sharing your experience. That would be saying, “I didn’t find Klonopin effective and preferred Xanax.” Instead you spoke as though your experience was universally applicable.
