ive been diagnosed with anxiety; was prescribed clonazapin; however my physician moved out of state and the best i can do is go to the er parasitically and they may prescribe xanax 5mg as opposed to 1mg clonopin t.id.  Last weekend i encounterd a lot of stress.  For the 1st time I felt my chest tight soo much each time I moved, it was tender...it lasted approx 3 days now same symptoms have returned...Incidentally blood pressure was 178/74..Understand u cannot diagnose me via line.....just want a professional opinion...as I havent gone to the e.r. thinking this is probably anxiety disorder until i get xanax or clopnopin

HelloAnxiety is characterized by the symptoms you are showing like stress, chest tightness, tender chest, hypotension etc symptoms. You have been clonipin 1 mg and this is a benzodiazepine drug and it provides symptomatic control in anxiety. Similarly the xanax is also a benzodiazepine and both drugs are almost equally potent. But these drugs are not definitive treatment of anxiety, medicines like SSRIs, SNRIs are used in such situations. These are non addicting and help to improve anxiety states.Consult a Psychiatrist for expert opinion.Thanks
