A member asked:
Besides severity of the disorder, are benzodiazepines batched based on persons weight? how much mg/kg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes - Dr determines: Dose is based on weight and your doctor needs to determine the right amount. Do not take more than they instruct. It can be quite dangerous. Also, they are intended for short term use only. Effectiveness is lost over time. That's part of their addictive quality, you develop tolerance. Work closely w/ the doctor.
