In reply to Clonazepam/Alprazolam dose equivelence, posted by jono_in_adelaide on October 19, 2012, at 18:04:08
The 1=1 ratio of clonazepam to alprazolam is not true.
It stems from Erwoid.org claiming this for some time (still does). That's what happens when you get your information from drug addicts instead of peer-reviewed literature.
Medscape is peer-reviewed, and my Medscape app on my iPad has a dose conversion for the benzos, and it's 1mg of Clonazepam = 2 mg alprazolam.
I had a doctor switch me from Klonopin to Xanax once, and he said it was what medscape said, but I was insistent, stupidly, because I thought I knew what I was talking about, not knowing erowiod is full of &%#@. So I was on an inadequate dose of Xanax XR that did nothing for me that month I was on it, and even had a panic attack (and I don't get panic attacks, I have social anxiety disorder).
