[Ch...] Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 When doing the crossover, do you need to to the Clonopam portions or can you just crost over to valuium. I'm feeling very sick and having a hard time eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[or...] Posted January 2, 2022 Share Posted January 2, 2022 You need to cross over gradually, substituting valium for klonopin. Dr. Ashton's Schedule 5 provides you with a crossover plan. (I followed her schedule for c/o from Ativan to valium and it worked out well). Here's the link. Take a look at it. Look for Schedule 5. https://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/bzsched.htm I don't think anyone wold advocate an immediate substitution of valium for klonopin. It's too hard on your body. You'll have to do some math and plug your own numbers into the schedule but you can see how it would work. Katz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[An...] Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I agree with what oregonkatz said. Better to do a soft crossover (slowly substitute V for K) than a hard one (stop K, start V). I had no choice tho when a rehab ctr CT'd me in 06. As soon as I was discharged, I got put on V. I did not ask for anymore klonopin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
