According to the book "The Feeling Good handbook", it states that Clonazepam is the most potent benzodiazepine. It states that the "potency (clonazepam dose equivalents) is that xanax is 1/2. So 1.5 mg of xanax is the equivalent to 1 mg of Klonopin. Which makes sense to me, because the doc gave me .5 of clonazepam and I only took half of that, so .25mg of clonazepam and it was wicked, way to overpowering for me. Freaked me out really bad, had the worst panic attack on that stuff. I had alway taken ativan. So the potency of ativan to clonazepam is 1/4. So it takes about 1.75 or almost 2mg of ativan to equal 1mg of clonazepam. I wish I had know that before.
