The half life of these 2 benzo's is the same,
so you can keep the same frequancy of dosing.
If you dose on Xaxax every X hours you do the same on the Ativan. Over time you may need to
adjust a bit but for starters, one leaves the body
at close to the same rate as the other.Keep in mind that benzos are not millagram for
millagram equalivant, so do not be conserned
that you took X mgs of Xanax but now you take a different strength of Atavin. There are standard charts for doing this conversion, however you may find a need to adjust a little either way to get the same
control of whatever you are treating.
