Hi Ed,
thanks for the reply, one more question if you don't mind,
my doc gave me the choice between XanaxXR and Klonopin and Valium, i tried klonopin first but it was too sedating, then i tried XanaxXR and i'm still using it, but i'm wondering now if i made the right choice in terms of eventually wanting to taper off a benzo ... in other words, why and which benzo would be easier to taper off of and would have less withdrawal propensities during the tapering process, Klonopin or XanaxXR or Valium? Thanks again! chess>
> After a single dose, diazepam has a short duration of action because it is rapidly redistributed into fat, removing it from the blood. After repeated doses, diazepam has a long duration of action, it's long-acting active metabolites accumulate and an equilibrium is achived between fat deposits and the blood.
