You may have seen " equivalency tables" for benzodiazepenes where they tell you approximately how many mg of one benzo is equivalent to 1 mg of another. Clonazepam is about 4 times stronger (per mg) than lorazepam according to the table I linked to above, so yes, I'll bet you're going through some withdrawal.
I'm glad you're getting a 4x/day dosing schedule on the lorazepam. (if you're taking it every day, I mean.) When I took it, I was on 3x/day dosing and I started getting withdrawal symptoms between doses after a few months.
I hope your clonazepam withdrawal doesn't go on for too long.  |
Thanks for the information.
Lorazepam sucks. I want to go back on clonazepam. Clonazepam was nice. I could even skip taking it before work and feel fine. Never had any withdrawal feelings between doses, and always had a lot left over at the end of the month.
Still clonazepam withdrawing. It sucks. I constantly feel like there's something heavy resting on my chest, and I've been waking up anxious and shaky.
My pnp is gone, and I don't have another doctor lined up yet, so I'm not sure what to do. I was going to ask her if I could go back on the clonazepam, but now I have no one to ask.
I have three refills left on the clonazepam, and I don't think she bothered discontinuing it before she left.
Don't know what to do.
