What Are the Differences Between Klonopin & Xanax?

Klonopin and Xanax are two benzodiazepines. Klonopin is a brand name for the drug clonazepam, a drug that is often labeled as a long-acting benzodiazepine, but some experts instead call it an intermediate-acting benzodiazepine. Xanax is a brand name for the drug alprazolam, a short-acting benzodiazepine.

Clonazepam has an elimination half-life of about 20 to 60 hours, whereas alprazolam has a shorter half-life of 12 to 15 hours. This is how long it takes most bodies to eliminate 50 percent of a substance from their system, with it taking about four to five half-lives for greater than 90 percent of a drug to generally be eliminated.

Clonazepam is commonly used to treat panic and certain seizure disorders. It is also sometimes used to treat difficulties sleeping and alcohol withdrawal. Similarly, alprazolam is used to help treat anxiety disorders and panic disorders.
