There as been some strange posts in the last few weeks on the strength people think there Benzo is they take. List of benzodiazepines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This chart will show the real strength not what people may tell you. the 4 main Benzo, s scripted are Xanax , klonipin ie clonazepam. Ativan ie lorazepam , and diazepam ie Vailum . Now the first 2 Xanax and klonipin are the strongest , at .5mm the second is lorazepam at 1mg and Valium at 10mg the weakest . so in laymen terms you need to take . 10mg of valium to 1mg Ativan, and .5 of Xanax , SO IF YOUR TAKING 3MG OF KLONIPIN A DAY YOU ARE TAKING THE SAME LEVEL HAS 60 MG VALIUM

Amazing! I would have thought Valium would be the strongest but no, klonopin is and that's what I take. I should be really mellow. lol

I have klonopin and I try not to take it. It definitely helps when I use it daily, but I can't take the groggy and tired feeling. Sometimes I feel like it makes my depression worse, too.

Ativan was a big help, but I developed a tolerance quick. Its too short acting for my needs.

Yeah no kidding. Was valium perhaps, the first? I associate that one with the Rolling Stones, song, mother's little helper...

My benzo is the prn, .25mg xanax. I keep hush about taking it, irl. No one's business. ..

I'd tell my p-doc to eff off and find one who will prescribe me a higher dose of k-pin BUT on the rare occasions I take more k-pin it causes me to feel depressed.

Be careful with Wikipedia. I just read an article about how a good portion of the medical information on Wikipedia is inaccurate.

The dosage is relative to the strength of the medication, so does this just mean you need less of the stronger, shorter acting klonopin than you do valium in order to get the same result? I have a script for 1mg of klonopin to be taken up to 3x daily. But there are only 60 tabs, so the more I take, the less I have until the next month. I thought that when most people take 3mg klonopin it is spread throughout the day, not taken at once. Otherwise that is a lot of klonopin a day...
