Guest Guest_mamayaya_* Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 I've tried 1 mg of Klonopin, 2 mg of Ativan, and 2 mg of Xanax for acute panic and for sleep and they do nothing for either. What in the world is wrong? What is the kick-in time of these and how long do they last once you take them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xanax will last around 8 hrs the first time you use it, but with repeated dosing as little as 3 hrs. Klonopin on the other hand is not quite as strong as xanax, but lasts much longer - at least 12 hrs or more. I'm not going to go into the half lives of these drugs, but there is a similar trend.

Zippy Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 You've probably become tolerant. You may need to take a break from benzos for awhile for them to work again. It happens to me. Meanwhile, perhaps one of the gaba meds might help with anxiety? Or a beta blocker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loon-A-TiK Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 i guess we're all different. to me, that's nothing! well, taken all together it would knock me on my ass, but individually, they wouldn't hit me at all. for me, and i can only talk about klonopin because i don't remember having timed the others, it takes 15-20 mins to kick in and lasts 8 hours. i weigh 115lbs. i don't know if your body weight has a darn thing to do with it, but there it is just in case. it is a psych drug so i doubt it, but anyway... 1mg of klonopin is candy. i take 3mg/day. i take 1 during the day, and 2 at night because that's when i flip out. i'd ask for a dose increase. at least try 1.5 of the klonopin. you can take a ton of the stuff, and some people do, and it is safe. it is habit forming, but at that level, i wouldn't worry about it. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antiks Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 1mg of klonopin is candy. i take 3mg/day. i take 1 during the day, and 2 at night because that's when i flip out. Just imagine how much you'd take if you had children. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
