Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I like to inform you that both Xanax and clonazepam are recommended for treatment of severe anxiety or panic disorder. However in regard to efficacy often xanax scores better in compare to clonazepam.
I also like to inform you that Clonazepam have slightly less chance of addiction in compare to xanax and long acting.

I was asking about clonazolam not clonazepam. Or is there much difference? I'm looking to try something new. I've tried: xanax, Valium, cymbalta, Wellbutrin, Paxil, buspar, gabapentin, on and on. I've seen these research chemicals advertised such as, clonazolam, etizolam, to name a few. My panic/anxiety disorder is really bad and I'm just open to trying something new
Brief Answer:
I am sorry

Hello,
Thanks for pointing toward an error.
First of all I like to inform you that clonazolam is not available legally (in most of countries) and it is not possible to ensure quality of product in gray market. In my opinion it is always better to get the medications from legal sources rather than gray market.
In regard to efficacy of clonazolam in severe anxiety, it is one of the effective option provided you can ensure quality and nil adulteration.
I hope this helps you.
Thanks again.
