madtowncard 40 Posted August 31, 2017 My Dr recently took me off Klonopin and switched to xanax. Even though he said it was safe to take right away how long should I wait? My last klonopin was actually two days ago? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
philb 92 Posted August 31, 2017 I would consult the pharmacy you got your Xanax filled at but I take Xanax as needed and notice it wears off after a few hours for what it's worth. So maybe that's why your doctor said it's ok to use it right away since Klonopin is in the same family as Xanax 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MsLLL 413 Posted August 31, 2017 I agree with Phil, they are in the same family. Trust your MD:) May I ask why he switched you, since they are basically the same thing? One of my friends takes Klonopin and another friend takes Xanax. Just curious as to why he decided to switch you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
