I made the switch this year. I was moved from Xanax to Klonopin. I believe that Xanax is a bit more fast acting. But so far, Klonopin is doing the job. I did not experience any withdrawal symptoms symptoms. Hope this helps. What I read is that you should not stop Klonopin abruptly and that it would require a taper over time. I feel less anxious on Klonopin.

I also made an easy switch from Xanax 1mg to Klonopin 1 mg - the only difference I felt was Xanax was faster acting and wore off more quickly as well. Klonopin was a smoother, longer acting benzo. It helped my sleep for many years but I was told by a new psychiatrist that it was a dangerous drug to take long term so I am almost tapered off. It has been really difficult and my sleep was terrible until I was prescribed Remeron. I think I am now ready to stop the 0.125mg I currently take - it was more like a safety net than having any real affect.
