Is good if i will try diazepam?

[Anonim]

I thought what benzo would be good after rivotril and I thought about diazepam, do you have any advice?

[Jay1]

Clonazepam is better, imho, but diazepam helps a lot too.

I agree, clonazepam is better, though I will say I’ve not tried diazepam. Clonazepam works better because it has a longer half-life.

Diazepam has a half life up to 100 hours, were Clonazepam has up to 50. But Clonazepam seem to be more effective for other reasons.

On my opinion Diazepam is very mild compared to klonopin..

Hey Yes, I just read that diazepam does have a longer half life. I’ve never been on it before, only clonazepam. When I first learned about HPPD, everything I read suggested clonazepam as the best medication to help with symptoms, so that’s all I’ve ever taken for the symptoms.

Did you match the dosage using a benzo dosage calculator?

The general rule of thumb seems to be 1mg clono = 10mg valium

I found the effects very similar when using the dosage calculator

Yes your right 

Likely a much lower dose 

I say this tho cos I'm on a very low dose of diaz now and it literally feels like nothing compared to klon

Yeah, I’ve only ever tried clonazepam for my symptoms and it has worked super well over the years.
