Yes, they are both benzodiazepines so "crossing over" is possible.

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

Does Xanax and Ativan metabolize the same way?
No. Like most benzodiazepines, Xanax is metabolized by hepatic oxidation and Ativan by conjugation (one of few benzos to break down this way). For this reason, Ativan (being less "harsh" on the liver), is often preferred in individuals with liver disorders or elderly patients)
