Benzos Confused about Klonopin Half-Life

[Screaming_Skull]

Okay, from what I understand the half life is 24-50 hours? With single use it says it is out of your system in 3-7 days. If one was taking 4-6mg about three to four times a week would it be gone in a week from your last dose or build up in your system and stay there a little longer like, lets say two weeks. Or would it be like valium and be in there for up to a month with using it a couple times a week at 4-6 mg??

As far as I am aware, and I'll stand corrected:
Yes the half life is approximately 20-50 hours depending on how well you metabolise it.
It stays in your system, and is detectable in your urine, for up to 7 days. The time period will be longer for tissue, blood or hair tests.
I would have imagined that it would be gone from your system within 7 days of last use, though perhaps a little longer, seeing as 6mg is a fairly large dose, your body would have to do a lot more work to rid itself of the drug.

I think, if you took 10mg then it would take ~50 hours to reduce this down to 5mg, and then another ~50 hours to reduce this down to 2.5mg and so on and so forth.

As far as I am aware a drug is counted as eliminated from your body after 7 half lifes.

I assume you've got some kind of drugs test that you're trying to avoid?

That's my limited knowledge on half lifes, so would happily stand corrected and actually be interested for a more scientific answer myself.

Okay, so no matter what the dosage is it should take a week to get out, or about a week. And say if you were a daily user a little longer to get out,like two weeks? And no, no drug test just curious. I'm just confused as if taking say the 4mg three times a week would build up in your system taking longer to get out? So say you were taking 12-16 mg throughout the week, after your last dose there should be no Klonopin in you after a week or little more than a week of your last dose? Say with something like valium if you were taking 30-40mg 3 times a week, it would def. be in your system longer waay longer than a week, but with klonopin a week or a little over a week and its out of the system?

I ran over this a while ago with a hypothetical 1 mol dose of meth.

I have taken un-Godly amounts of benzos, then stopped. It has taken up to 2 months for me to stop testing positive for benzos. Diet and exercise are a fact, as is the benzo you were using. Klonopin definitely has one of the longest half-life's. I was dosing 6mg Klonopin daily for about 2-3 weeks, and I tested positive for it when tested 2 weeks after I had stopped. Benzos linger in me, though.

We can't tell you when you'll be clean of drugs, it varies between everyone.

the rule of thumb is it takes 7 half lives for a drug to drop to less than 1% of its original concentration, so do the math. that's 7 - 14 days before you get down to 1% of the klonopin remaining in your body.

Closing this thread because it is speculation about drug tests.
