Clonazepam, Xanax etc., comes under Benzos and Xanax is fast acting and leaves system soon and Clonazepam stays in blood for longer time. I was on Xanax, then Clonazepam and again went to Xanax and now I take when my symptoms are really worse (once or twice a month).

As you know this drugs works like alcohol to some extent to calm your brain. One main thing doctors are worried about is getting addicted (which is true) but you got to do what you got to do until you find a good way to manage your anxiety. So for now don't worry and slowly try other ways and you sure find something other than Benzos.
