[Ka...] Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Hi, I'm sorry if this has been discussed, I don't have Valium to do the substitution taper, is it a good idea to try to switch from clonazolam to etizolam? Does anyone have experience with this? I'm not on a high dosage but I was taking it throughout my day so I don't honestly know how to do this taper because I don't know how much I was taking. I know I'm rambling. Forgive me. I wish I could just cold turkey it but I know it's dangerous. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [ba...] Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 You can taper using klonopin if you want. You don't have to switch to anything else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[li...] Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 He/she doesn´t take clonazepam, but clonazolam. I don´t know the properties of etizolam. Or even clonazolam. It´s more convenient to go by a ´known´ benzo. RCs ? Sorry, I can´t be bothered to gather all that information myself. (subunits, affinity, diration of action, half life etc.'' With caution: bluelight ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ka...] Posted October 30, 2017 Author Share Posted October 30, 2017 clonazolam is comparable to klonopin. i wasn't sure if it would be easier to get off the etizolam which is similar to xanax. i'll keep researching. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [ba...] Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 Usually, people cross over to longer-acting benzos. Xanax is a pretty short-acting one. Klonopin is a decent choice. Valium is too. None of them is 'easier' to taper from, but the longer-lasting ones have less up/down during the day than the shorter-acting ones, so your experience is a bit steadier.

[...] Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Your better off tapering off clonzelam. Etizolam has a short half life which will just make things more difficult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
