Suzanne maybe you'd like to go back to dry cutting which you can control without depending on anyone? Maybe that would make you feel more in control, IDK.

Hi buider,

Ok lets start fresh because. Well long story.
Using 1 mg clonzanapam
172 grams

I am doen to .140 grams.

Using whole milk.

Thank you, sorry about the confusion.  I apologize. Thats bwd for you!

If your 1mg  tablet weighs 172mg, and you are taking 140mg of that tablet...

140/172=81%

So 1mg X 81% = .81mg.

But if  your doing liquid, why worry about weight, or try to shave/sand/grind/etc the tablet?  Just dissolve a 1mg tablet in 100ml milk, then each ml of milk will be .01mg of diazepam.  .81mg would be 81ml of milk.

No, my mistake.

But all of the numbers are still correct.

Just dissolve a 1mg tablet in 100ml milk, then each ml of milk will be .01mg of diazepam clonazepam.  .81mg would be 81ml of milk.

When you are doing a dlmt do you need to make a new batch everyday. I was making 5 days worth. Then sepetaring the doses and putting them in the fridge. If I'm holding now. Then why would i keep taking liquid. Wouldnt that be thevsame as taking the pill in pill form? I am sorry. My sx are bad lately.

No, you do NOT need to make a fresh batch every day.  Its actually labor-intensive and wasteful.

Just make a multi-day batch, then draw up and  drink the scheduled dose.  This is no different than any other liquid med you might get at the pharmacy.

Here's the example I post over and over.  Pretend your doc gives a scrip for a liquid med, and the dosing instructions are:  Take 10 tsp the first day, then reduce dose by 1 tsp each day after that.  I'm sure you would measure out and take 10 tsp day 1, measure out and take 9 tsp day 2, measure out and take 8 tsp day 3, etc.

That's all there is to a daily liquid taper.
