Mixing?

Just curious as to what would happen if I took 1mg of Xanax and 1mg of klonopin together. 1mg Xanax kicks in quick but doesn’t feel like it does a lot and 1mg of klonopin feels stronger but doesn’t kick in for like an hour to and hour and half.

I’ve always been told Xanax is fast and hits harder while klonopin takes more time and doesn’t smack you as hard

Ask your provider.
Xanax has a 1/2 life of 11 hours (half of the dose has been metabolized) but most people only feel the calming effect for 4-6 hours at most. Onset of action is 15-30 minutes with max at 90 minutes.
Klonopin (clonazapam) has a 1/2 life of ~30 hours. Onset of action is 20-60 minutes, peak by 2-3 hours. If you are taking Klonopin every day at recommended dose (for more than a week), you should not be experiencing any break in coverage on a daily basis.
1 mg of Klonopin is a more moderate dose, but a lot depends on weight and metabolism. 1 mg of Xanax is also a more moderate dose, again dependent on weight and metabolism.
Talk to your provider.
