thank you both for that information (while I definitely can’t say i understand all of it, lol). i was just recently wondering about half-lifes.
Someone posted this on the net about Klonopin:
"Here are some things that you may not know about Clonazepam: It has a 50 hr half life which means it takes 50 hours for it to dissipate to half of the dose that you took. Sounds good to most and a lot of doctors say that is a good thing but here is what they don’t tell you, If your doc tells you to take 1mg twice a day that means by the end of only one month your steady plasma level of Clonazepam will be around 30 to 40 mg and that is no lie! You have now created havoc on your GABA system and you are officially an addict even if you don’t want to be."
I *knew* that wasn’t right, lol. so, (please bear with me, here), are you saying that even if there was this immense buildup (she used the 50-hour half-life), it wouldn't cause someone to be addicted because the "duration of action" is the only period where it affects the brain, right?
