A member asked:
How long should you wait to take klonopin (clonazepam) after taking ativan?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Switching meds: You can begin klonopin (clonazepam) the next day after discontinuing ativan. The half life of ativan is about 12-15 hours. Please do not take both at the same time, of course.
