 Re: Clonazepam - Klonopin
|
I'm still puzzled about the dosage schedule. K-pin's average half-life is about 24 hours. Taking 1 mg every 4 hours daily without breaks should lead to a very high steady-state plasma concentration and tolerance. If you need to dose every 4 hours you might as well be on alprazolam - four hours after a clonazepam dose, you're still at the peak from the last dose.
I am definitely not a doctor
but that sounds excessive to me. This line here:Quote:
this dr is saying you can take this all your life and never have problems
really makes me wonder...call me a cautious benzo user I guess. I know for sure I wouldn't be able to function on the equivalent dosage of alprazolam, which has a much shorter half-life (I do currently take .5mg alprazolam 3x daily for GAD).
