> whats the real deal?????Andy, this isn't the good question to ask yourself. Yes Klonopin is approx. 5 times the potency of Xanax.
But the real deal is that Xanax is a very short action benzo and Klonopin a long action benzo. Xanax half-life is somewhere between 4 to 18 hours. The half-life of Klonopin is 18 to 50 hours.
The result. You have to take Xanax at least 3 times a day to get a substained effect. It is very annoying. However, you can take Klonopin just once a day. It is a big difference.
Hope that helps!
