Yes. Xanax (alprazolam) and Klonopin (clonazepam) are both benzodiazepines. They have essentially identical side effects and are used for an essentially identical list of conditions. The duration of action for clonazepam is longer. These drugs should not be used at the same time, but may be used by the same patient at different times of day (for example Xanax during the day as needed and Klonopin at bedtime). As prescription drugs and controlled substances, each should only be used (together or in combination) as prescribed.

What is the drug alprazolam?
Xanax = alprazolam Alprazolam is the (only) active ingredient in the Brand Name medication known as Xanax. Xanax is known as "Tafil" in Mexico, and is known under different Brand Names in other countries, but its active ingredient is still alprazolam. Here in Canada, generic alprazolam is frequently prescribed. Although the name Xanax doesn't necessarily appear on the bottle, the pharmacist knows that a prescription for alprazolam is the same as Xanax. Generic medications are just as good as their Brand Name equivalents, and contain the same active ingredient(s), but are virtually always more economical (because of the lack of advertising money spent by the pharmaceutical companies).
Is alprozopam the same thing as lorazepam?
No. Alprazolam, better known by the brand name Xanax, is a different drug than lorazepam, better known by the brand name Ativan. Both drugs are related and classified as benzodiazepines. Lorazepam is commonly used for anxiety, acute treatment in certain medical emergencies (eg., amphetamine intoxication, seizure), among other things. Unlike lorazepam and most benzodiazepines alprazolam is ONLY approved for psychiatric disorders. Alprazolam is also once a a handful of drugs approved to treat panic disorder with or without agoraphobia, a specific type of anxiety. Both lorazepam and alprazolam (and oxazepam) are approved to treat anxiety associated with depression however only alprazolam has been shown to have unique antidepressant effects of its own. In New Zealand alprazolam is actually approved to treat depression without anxiety.

What does Klonopin show up as in a urine drug test?
It is unlikely that a urinalysis will detect Klonopin, but it is possible.The most common type of urine screening used is a 5-panel test, which only tests for metabolites of amphetimines, cocaine, opiates, phencyclidine, and THC.Much less common, and more expensive, 12-panel urine tests can detect use of benzodiazepines, including Klonopin, within as long as six weeks since the last injestion.Edit. Benzo's show up for a long time if you take them regular and many drug tests do screen for benzo's even job interviews.
