So i was on 1mg ativan twice a day and now I've been switched to .5mg klonopin twice a day because the ativan wasn't lasting long enough. My doctor is being a total hard ass and says they won't increase the dosage im on and she said she doesnt usually perscribe this medication for most people . right now it's an okay dosage but I've found sometimes I have to take .75mg, but that's not a problem really because I'm receiving 60 tablets a month and I don't always take it twice a day . What im wondering is overall the klonopin any worse for me than ativan taking everyday ? The dosages are eqivlaumt but the klonopin lasts much longer which is nice because I was having a lot of rebound anxiety on ativan . I've heard klonopin can be hell to get off, but I am only taking 1mg a day total.
I found with ativan I would be in withdrawls in about 24-30 hours if i did not take my dosage, I heard with klonopin you can forget to take it for a day and be okay, is this true?
It's been a struggle for me to finally obtain this perscription , I am 19 and have experienced a lot of ageism with my benzo scripts from doctors . They litterally tried to start me out at .25mg ativan twice a day when I first was perscribed benzos which is a laughably low dose . I finally have gotten them to give me the medicine I actually need for my anxiety , I feel like .75mg klonopin would be a better dosage for me but due to the fact that I weigh less than 100 pounds I keep being told I'm on a " fairly high dosage for my bmi"
What will it be like when I have to get off these meds completely one day . I use them for anxiety related to sexual trauma and ptsd . Will my ptsd be worse? Or will I be able to get off this low dosage relatively easily
