thx, I checked that out. I wonder if anyone has real life experience. The ativan seems work quicker, but it doesn't seem as strong maybe?

I went from 3mg of klonopin to 3mg of ativan.

You would need 6 mg Ativan (lorazepam) to equal 3 mg of Klonopin (clonazepam). I find Ativan just as effective as Klonopin at equivalent doses. It just doesn't last as long.

WHAT ARE THE DOSE EQUIVALENCIES AMONGST VARIOUS BENZODIAZEPINES?

There are no clearly definitive equivalencies for various benzodiazepines. This author has personally seen at least a dozen different benzodiazepine equivalency charts and no two are alike. The table below has been chosen because it reflects the clinical experience of Professor Ashton in having helped over 300 people to withdraw from benzodiazepines by use of a Valium substitution method (see below).

...
Clonazepam 0.5
...
Lorazepam 1

I've always found them to be equivalent. I went from 1mg of Klonapin to 1mg of ativan.
