>The tolerance business is a mystery to me
with regard to the chemical differences of
the benzos - they are one class and yet the
clonazepam is very different - I sometimes
wonder if it was not invented by some evil
genius on some rare strain of rat that he
himself cloned. BTW "clonazepam" - is that
after clonic tonic seizures? or cloned? wonder
about the etymology.And uhm, I would not say it was not a problem
for me - I think it almost killed me with
that "seizure/stroke" incident and it made
me quite sick upon withdrawal for more than
a year - we are talking 1.0 mg here.But anyway, onward and upward LOL
