Thought we answered this last week for you? So nothing has changed since then. You may be having slight withdrawls. You were taken the klonopin in four doeses, instead of morning and night? The switch over amount was a match. If you are having bad withdrawls go back to your doctor. He may up the new tablet to combat the withdrawls.

I thought the Dr. has to wing you off of the Klonopin before he puts you on a new med.  I been taking mine for about 4 years and it was worn off but as you know I can't stop taking it due to the withdrawl (withdrawal) symtoms (symptoms).  He has to put me on something else, (maybe Ativan).  Right I'm having severe anxiety due to some personal issues that I'm probably just paranoid about.  But I'm not eating much because I have no appetite and I'm Diabetic so I can't stop eating completely.  I have lost weight already.  Any helpful advice would be appreciated.

I was taking 05 mg cut in half so .25 mg of klono 4 times a day to equal 1 1.2 mg she prescribed ativan 2 1/2 mg a day........i think she thought i was on 05 mg of klono 3 times a day  so im thinking the ativan dose is too high i had misread my bottle label i thought it said 1/2 pill morning noon and night of ativan but it says 1/2 in the morning 1 at noon  and one at night.....how does it compare

Normal to be dosed out three times a day. Bit like xanax. Klonopin is normally dosed out twice a day. But as you were taken it four times a day that may be causing some slight complications. The dose is a perfect match if you were going from 1mg klonopin to the 1/2 mg activian. But you're not. You broke the klonopin dose up. So the activian will be greater.
