CT restoril to up dose K


[cc...]

Recommended Posts

Hi. I've been tapering Klonopin from 1.5mg to 1.4375mg (I was on higher does prior to this taper and went from 2.5 to 1.4375 over time). I'm also on 30mg Restoril and my doctor wants me to CT the R and up dose K to 2.5, claiming the equivalency of K to R is 30mg = 1mg. I put in lots of effort tapering K so I'm reluctant to up dose but at the same time I'm glad to get off R. I also understand that R is more hypnotic and it's very hard to actually compare the exact effects when crossing between benzos anyway. Is this an acceptable switchover and worth it?

The Clonazepam has a longer half life so that would be an advantage to crossing over but you’re right, you may not sleep as well without the Temazepam.  Can you tell us why he wants you to make the switch at this time?
