Switching Back to Ativan from Klonopin

Posted by neuroscience on October 19, 2012, at 11:32:27

I was on ativan for like 5 months, and then I talked to doctor about switching to klonopin because of its longer half life and duration of action. I've been on klonopin for about a week now but I think I want to go back on ativan because it seemed to work better.
When I was on ativan it was 1mg 3x a day.
Klonopin is 1mg 2x a day.
I was really hoping that the klonopin would work but ativan worked better.
I think I could just start taking the ativan again and stop the klonopin especially since I haven't been on klonopin for that long now? I called my doctor and he said I could do this but I just wondered what people thought about it.
