In reply to Benzo Switch - Dosage Question, posted by sonic_gb on November 17, 2007, at 14:51:56
> Hello All,

> My pdoc just switched me from 1mg Lorazepam 3x/day to 1mg clonazepam 2x/day. This seems to be a big increase in terms of overall diazepam equivalent dosage, correct? Does anyone have comments about lorazepam vs. clonazepam in terms of subjective experiences?

> SonicThat's about an increase from 15 to 40mg of diazepam (http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/bzd.html, first chart -- I've been through the Klonopin-Valium switch and that chart is fairly accurate)
Ativan and Xanax have more of an immediacy panic attack stopping effect than Clonazepam, personally -- Klonopin is rather subtle. But everyone has a different need for different benzodiazepines. I prefer to save the immediacy effect ones for when they're needed but then I've kind of acclimated to most benzodiazepines.
