Maybe a bit stoned too.

Last night's dose of 3.0 is wearing off a little.
Maybe I'll just take 2.5 tonight, not sure.
I have to admit. it did seem like a big hop to me. it's 50% actually. (3.0 is 1.5 times 2.0) i almost suggested you go with just the 2.5, but i figure you would know best just what state you are in, and how Klonopin affects you. and i figured only 2 days would not be a big deal.

however, the stuff has an elimination half-life of around 30 hours... elimination/accumulation are such that:

-- if you only take 2.5 tonight, your peak level will still be higher than after yesterday's 3.0 dose, and will continue to increase slightly to steady state.

-- if you take 3.0 again tonight it will hike your level past what would be steady state for 2.5, so that as of tomorrow, when you go to 2.5, your peak levels will decrease, not increase, to steady state. (values of half life > 23 hrs produce this behavior.)

if it were me (which it isn't ), i would go with 2.5 tonight.
