> I'd explain it by the fact that lmg of klonopin is equal to 20mg of valium. I was shocked to learn this. Wonder why the pdocs use it so much? Love Phillipa
Right, i forgot about that. When I was at
benzo.org i wrote to Roche suggesting that
they make the 0.50 pill smaller; and they do
in Europe but not in the West -- that is
because it is was originally intended for
epilepsy, requiring a huge dose; then whe
marketing it for anxiety, they should have
cut the 0.50 mg pill to at least 6 or 4
smaller portions. It was very difficult
to cut for withdrawal.Wonder what the detox centres do -- possibly
they follow Dr. Ashton suggestion of
using another benzo to cover the gaps
in withdrawal. But i don't think that
drs. have the time to invest in this
fall-out. I don't blame them; i blame
the drug companies.Squiggles
