Total half life of diclazepam including active metabolites

[3dmusic]

Hi

I know diclaz is 42hr half life, but what is it's total half life includingn it's active metabolites.
I am tapering diazepam but will run out so have diclaz on the way, wanna know if diclaz total half life includingn it's active metabolites, is longer than diazepam and its am's, if it is longer, then I will have to do a gradual crossover to diclazepam from valium
thanks in advance

Make the calculations ... one of the metabolites is delorazepam, and it has a very long half life.

So it's just a simple case of adding up all the metabolites, anad the total being the total half life of diclaz?
I'm still confused to be honest, cos it could be only the metaolite with the longest half life, that is what i am wondering.
