I've read and read about the half-lives of each of the benzo's, but what are people's opinions of the "duration of action"?
To me, valium, any dose between (10-40mg) lasts maybe 2-3...maybe 4 max, even though it has the longest half life. Now xanax in the 1-2mg range, lasts maybe 4-6 hours. 3-4mg..can lasts way past 12 hours. Klonopin, lasts waaaaaaaaaay long, i took 4mg one night, and i was really buzzed the entire day after. One 2mg tab lasts many many hours. Ativan, 2-4mg, lasts about 2-4 hours.
Thats what i've found in the "duration of action" of these.
