Ok.. so I went into further research on the whole, Xanax to klonopin equivalency and found multiple answers! From actual doctors, and from scientists... I saw three different charts.. one saying, 1mg of klonopin was equal in strength to 1mg of Xanax. Another stating, that 1mg of klonopin, was equal to 0.5mg of Xanax, and another stating 1mg of Xanax, was equal to 0.5mg klonopin... so I don't know what to believe anymore..
I do know this.. 3 different doctors I have seen over the years whom I actually get/have got prescriptions for klonopin(currently), Xanax(one month only, i liked the klonopin way better!), and valium(loved it too, just felt like it was time to get back on klonopin, as i felt it was a different more effective drug for my anxiety and my current newest doc hates valium, so she basically forced me to get back on kpins..) all have showed me a chart, and thoroughly explained, the strength of each benzo, and how it compared to another... They have all told me Xanax is = to klonopin exactly in strength.. i have also read numerous posts on here, that they are equal... and they all also said, 0.5mg of either kpin/Xanax is = to 10mg of valium, which tbh, i have to question!? 10mg of valium, definitely feels on par with like 1mg of klonopin or Xanax IMO.. but i don't make these decisions.
I just felt a bit, like you were treating me as if i was some dumbass who didn't know that these drugs were even benzos, especially when you said... the thing about my metabolism! That irked me a bit, i wont lie.. i am blunt, and straight to the point. You obviously didn't understand what i was saying.. I was basically saying, that although i have a fast metabolism, valium is like the one drug along with klonopin, that last much longer for me, than normal. Most drugs, all depending on the half-life and duration of action, which again, i also know the difference between, but valium is another one of the very few drugs, that has a much shorter duration of action than the half-life is.. Valium has a crazy long half life, i believe its something wild like 60 or 80 hrs! (could be wrong, but i think it is..), it definitely does not last that long! I mean, don't get me wrong it does last quite a while, for me 20-40mg would usually last the entire day, into the night, and then the next morning, i would still sometimes feel it... klonopin, is about the same too, but has a shorter half life than valium, something along the lines of 24-36 hrs i believe, again i am not 100%, but i think it is around there though..
James Brown, again, please don't treat me like some rookie drug user.. You misunderstood my post, and apparently we were shown/told different things about benzo equivalency charts... so please, next time if you have a problem with something i wrote, don't be so condescending toward me... i didn't like how you just kind of treated me, like well... i don't know shit! I do.. end of story.. and yes, you can say no offense, but still, it tends to piss people off when you treat them like idiots... that's all.
