I take 10mg Lexapro and xanax .25mg as needed for my anxiety. Lorazepam is the generic for ativan, clonazepam is klonopin, which is longer acting than ativan and xanax. I have always responded better to xanax and ativan. I take my xanax about 2-3 times a week. It is my understanding that tolerance and dependency is more an issue with daily use and higher doses, but when it does happen, the withdrawl from these drugs is horrible. How often do you take your clonazepam?
I have found Lexapro to be a wonder drug and the best decision I made for my anxiety and IBS-C. It's been almost 3 months on Lexapro and I feel like a different person. At first my C was worse, but after about 2 months I saw major improvements. I don't know if it was the reduction in my anxiety or the chemical changes caused by the meds, but it's so much better.
