[ne...] Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Ran out of my normal 1.5-2mg/daily xanax prescription about 5 days early. If I replace it with Klonopin these next 5 days is it safe assuming it is at the same dosage?? Terrified of seizures and just need reassurance that that will not happen since I have a different benzo in me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 Yes. You may feel a little unwell, but no seizures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ne...] Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Thank you so much. Can you just explain what I might feel and why it won't just be mitigated due to the equivalent dose? Thank you so much for this reassurance - in major panic right now since out of xanax!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 It happened to me. I dont know why exactly, but I didnt feel as good on K as on Xanax, maybe because they hit different GABA subunits. But you will definitely be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[ne...] Posted April 25, 2022 Author Share Posted April 25, 2022 Got it, makes sense, thank you. I freaked out and took a .5 xanax (last I had) after taking 1.5 kpin and now im regretting it. Assuming once the xanax wears off ill feel a bit more myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[ne...] Posted April 26, 2022 Author Share Posted April 26, 2022 Thank you, Kate08. Looking at this, would you agree that as long as I stay at the equivalent dosage, I shouldn't have any serious issues if I take the klonopin instead of the xanax?
