If switching from 1mg of xanax to Ativan or Valium what would be the equivalant in mgs?
1mg Xanax = 2mg Ativan or 20mg Valium. You also have to consider onset and duration of action. Xanax is very fast-acting but only has a half-life of 6-12 hours. Ativan has a relatively quick onset with a half-life of 10-20 hours. Valium on the other hand, is a slow-acting benzo and stays in your system for days.

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
Is Xanax and Buspar the same?
No. There is a huge difference in the Buspar vs Xanax drug classes. While Xanax is one of the benzodiazepines, Buspar has its drug class and is not related to any other anxiolytic. Another difference in the Buspar vs Xanax mechanism of action is that Buspar works not with GABA receptors but triggers serotonin receptors. In terms of effectiveness, both medicines are equally effective in treating anxiety. Although the onset of effects of Buspar vs Xanax drugs is rapid, Xanax has a bigger potential for inducing dependency and side effects. Always consult with the doctor before switching the medication. Only a medical doctor has the right to prescribe, review, or substitute the medication during treatment.
