> Darkhorse, that's weird that you reacted so poorly to Klonopin but so well with lorazepam. Lorazepam made me significantly apathetic and drowsy-- more than Klonopin-- although i haven't ever been on either for very long. Does bromazepam have a long half-life? i have never heard of it.

Well,everyone is different,just wanted to tell you my experience..
.
Bromazepam comes in 1.5,3 &6mg,and it is a potent benzo 3mg = 1mg Lorazepam,and ,like clonazepam,and lorazepam has a sustained action,and average half- life is 20 hours....it is much less sedative and can be taken as a single dose in the morning for daytime anxiety or before sleep for late- insomnia..the only disadvantge is that it sarts to work within 2-3 hours,so,unlike diazepam,lorazepam and alprazolam, is not the benzo of choice for acute,immediate relief.Depending on your situation it could be taken once,twice or 3 times a day....my own experience is that it makes me feel normal and motivated without feeling drugged and sleepy (Valium,Tranxene,Serax,Centrax),or a little euphoric (Xanax),or spaced out,tired and apathetic (Clonazepam),or amnestic (Lorazrpam)...but this is my experience.
