Default yes i have same numbers as Mari

Dear Johnny,

a pdoc who was really keen with psychopharmacology once told me rule of thumb for steadystate/clearance is to consider 5 half-lives.

i use a different source but it gives the same half-life range of 18-50 hours - benzo.org.uk equivalence table

also, from http://www.rxlist.com/klonopin-drug.htm (click Clinical Pharmacology from the menu on the left)
Quote:
The elimination half-life of clonazepam is typically 30 to 40 hours.
Klonopin-wise, after 5 days on a new dose, you won't be at steady state but should have a good idea of where you stand with it.

welcome to the forum. i hope you feel better! check back in with us.
