No as my conversion is different as lmg of ativan equals .5 of xanax so I'm basically taking 2.5mg of ativan the valium is crumples of a pill. Also equivlencies of each ad are different. For example starting dose of prozac 20mg, luvox 50mg, paxil 20mg, effexor 37.5mg, zoloft 50mg, celexa was 25mg, lexapro 10-20mg. Each is equivalent in doseage. Just a different ad. Phillipa ps but this is a starting dose only and many docs now start at much lower doses to avoid side effects and abort a trial. Example goal for luvox up to 300mg, zoloft up to 200mg, effexor varies greating. Some take 40mg of paxil some higher. Based on what works for the patient if indeed the med is the right one.
