> Scott are all benzos the same in regards to tolerance and habit forming or perhaps the reason my pdoc prescribed me klonopin first is because it is the least habit forming/safest?
That's a great question. I truly don't know. Maybe someone more familiar with BZDs can comment. Klonopin has a long half-life, so maybe your doctor feels that it would produce the most consistent effect throughout the day. Klonopin had been used quite often in the past as an adjunct mood stabilizer before Depakote came along.
Sorry I couldn't answer your question. If you do have a conversation with your doctor as to what his reasons are for choosing Klonopin, it would be great if you could post them. No pressure, though.
