In reply to Klonopin does NOT have the longest half life, posted by krybrahaha on January 25, 2004, at 4:51:40

Hello,
While it is true that Klonopin has a half life that is not as long as Valium or Tranxene, that really is not the imporant part. The important part is the duration of action.
Klonopin, I understand has a longer *duration of action* than Valium or Tranxene.
This is because Valium and Tranxene tend to get redistributed to the fat and muscle stores(therefore made unavailable to the bloodstream and CNS). Meanwhile, Klonopin does not get redistributed to the same extent.
So you are right about the half lives, but the duration of action of Valium and Tranxene are not nearly as long as their half life.
Matt
