In reply to Ativan and Klonopin, posted by RWF on October 3, 2005, at 11:13:35
Hi
My advice would be to transfer from Ativan to a long-acting benzo... Klonopin or Librium would be my first choice.
Since Ativan has a short half-life, withdrawal symptoms such as panic attacks can occur between doses.
>My PDoc wants me to take Klonopin wafers 0.5 milligrams twice a day, but it doesn’t seem to do the trick.
I've heard that the wafers are expensive. Regular Klonopin tablets should be cheaper and equally effective.
If, after adjusting the dose, you still don't like Klonopin, Librium might be worth a try.
