.5 mg. of Xanax equals 20 mg. of Serax. Xanax 'kicks in' a lot quicker than Serax, and is definitely noticeable when it grabs hold, while Serax is slower to work, and more mellow, but both are relatively short-acting compared to Valium. Take 2mg. of Xanax and it hits fairly hard and goes away hard, and leaves a "hangover" feeling. Take 80mg. of Serax and it's easy all the way. 4mg. of Xanax feels like a mini-Quaalude to me?! So, I'd have to say that Xanax is a lot heavier than Serax, but I'd rather stay with Serax. Xanax can mess you up quick and be a whole lot harder to kick too.

Which is stronger Ativan or Klonopin?
Both belong to class the class of "super-potent" benzodiazepines. Technically, Klonopin is more potent than Ativan (0.25mg-0.5mg klonopin = 1mg ativan), but if you are wondering which produces more euphoria, most would agree Ativan beats Klonopin. My psychiatrist recently swapped me from klonopin to ativan for my social anxiety, and I find ativan works faster and produces a much more calming effect than the klonopin did.

Can you change from Xanax to lorazepam?
Yes, they are both benzodiazepines so "crossing over" is possible. It should be noted, however, that Xanax is roughly twice as potent as Ativan and has a much faster half-life so it may seem like the Ativan is not as effective in someone who is used to the rapid onset of Xanax. Of course, some people find that Ativan works better than Xanax for anxiety. It just depends on the person and what your taking it for
