A member asked:
Under a dr. supervision which is easier to taper ...klonopin (clonazepam) or ativan...doses being equal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Klonopin (clonazepam): Klonopin (clonazepam) is easier to taper in the long run than Lorazepam because it has a far longer half-life and is therefore much more forgiving in a tapering situation then a short acting drug with a short half-life like lorazepam.
