Hello, Thank you for asking this question. Although alprazolam (AL) has an established efficacy for treating generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder, some patients experience rebound symptoms at the end of a dosing interval. Clonazepam (CZP), which is therapeutically as effective as AL but twice as potent, is suggested as a substitute for AL since it offers a more gentle taper and helps minimize rebound symptoms. The addiction of both those medicines means that after some times of usage the specific receptors related with those medicaments will get adapted so you will need more medicine to have the same effect as before. You will not get addicted like can y live without taking that medicine. kind regards
