In reply to Mg for Anxiety? - Klonopin musings, posted by KellyD on May 25, 2003, at 11:14:56
Hi KellyD,
Klonopin is a powerful, mid-level half-life
(approx. 15 hrs) benzodiazepine. It is
commonly used for myoclonic (muscle), epileptic,
and anxiety disorders. Contrary to the
benzophobes, who may generalize about this
class of drugs, i've found that this benzo
is not habituating or addictive as Xanax or
Valium is for example. I have taken 0.50
Klnopin for 7 yrs. without having to raise it
to 1.0 - i don't know why it is different from
the others.As for magnesium, i would doubt very much that
it is as strong a drug, but i don't personally
know. One interesting thing -- when i had
Klonopin withdrawal and was very sick, my dr.
tested me for magnesium in the blood - mysterious.Squiggles
