Re: Benzo Equivalence Chart
http://www.dr-bob.org/tips/bzd.html
I don't mean to be too intrusive here, but
i recognize the benzo equivalence chart.
That's because i worked on such charts with
Ray Nimmo and David Woolfe and Jan. I recall
that we were struggling with a number of
equivalence presentations and had queries
over how they differed from one medical text
to another. If I remember correctly, we
finally settled on Dr. Heather Ashton's
equivalence chart as the fairest, on account
of the clonazepam being given a higher
value than alprazolam. Of course, the
comparison is arbitrary from a pharmarcological
point view, as the effect on the state to
be corrected or reversed is what counts - and
that varies with individuals.It's quite a coincidence to find it here
and it makes me wonder if you people weren't
working there all along (Benzoland that is).Squiggles
