phillipa as you have been on both of these ---i'm thinking of switching from 2mg of klonopin in divided doses to 2mg of ativan in divided doses---do you think that would be a fairly comfortable-----the klonopin seem to make me very forgetfulll

Ativan was fine at the time been a long time and no idea the conversion rate. I'm sure you will need higher dose of Ativan when you just look at numbers and more often during the day. But klonopin was depressing for me. Found it the strongest. Phillipa

Klonopin depressed me, too. I found Ativan more helpful, but oxazepam is my favourite benzo.( I don't know its tradename in the States.)
Kindly, Meddy43

he thinks i like to play switch the meds as it is true i have a hard time making a decision-ocd-but i do have hopes that the celexa at 40 mg right know will be better than the cymbalta
