What are the minimum dosages of Klonopin and Ativan given to patients?

[Deja Q]

Just curious...

I take one little yellow tablet of Klonopin in the event of a panic attack... but the vial is locked up at work and I can't remember the dosage.

Thx!

1. I usually take 1 mg of Ativan

If that helps. :hi:

2. Found a few things on both drugs

Klonopin- initial recommended dose is .25 mg.
recommended daily dose 1 mg.

Ativan- all I found was that the recommended daily dose is 2-3 mg.

3. The smallest Ativan is .5 mg.

5. Ativan also comes sublingual

in 1 mg. doses. since the sublingual absorbs much more quickly, it's a better method for dealing with panic attacks, IMO.

The difference between Ativan and Klonopin is that the latter has twice as long a half life- and so stays in your system much longer. this can be an issue if you need to drive or if you have difficulty getting up in the morning.

6. Klonopin comes in a .5 mg. tablet

which has a demarcation for splitting in half, if needed.
