Hi Chairman,
>Clonazepam's half-life in most people is 20+ hours. At 4mg per day, skipping one dose simply is not "withdrawal".
I think Maxi takes clonazepam once daily, the blood level could have dropped quite a lot after missing a dose. She probably went about 36 hours without a dose. Some people are very sensitive to benzo withdrawal. I'm not saying that it *was* withdrawal though - just that it's a possibility.
>Unless there is an underlying seizure disorder....
Well....Maxi has MS, which can cause seizures in some cases.
Kind regards,
Ed.PS. Sorry Maxi, I hope you don't mind us all talking about you :-) xx
