Clonazepam is prescribed primarily as
an anticonvulsant. This makes it distinct
from other benzos. It is definitely different
from my experience, especially upon discontinuation.
Is the chemical composition of clonazepam
significantly different from that of other drugs
in the benzos class? I have heard the argument
that all benzos are the same and it is just a
drug marketing ploy to attribute different therapeutic
properties to them.The question interests me because it is important
in considering switchover methods for withdrawal,
e.g. to Valium which has a longer life. Is the longer
life of one versus the other, the only difference?Anyone with some pharmacological knowledge on
this?Squiggles
