Do you think benzodiazepines should just be available in large doses? What’s wrong with the smallest doses? Why is making pills in smaller doses a questionable tactic?
Not at all. Maybe I wasn’t clear. I think the drugs, especially the more powerful ones like Klonopin, should be made available at very TINY doses. Many people have to switch over to Valium, which comes in tiny doses, but it’s not easy to cross over for a lot of people. See the chart below. 1 mg Klonopin is a huge amount in my book. We should be able to get Klonopin at 0.125 mg doses at the least.
Valium comes in a 2 mg. tablet. That’s the smallest dose available. Klonopin, Ativan and Valium are all available in liquid form which allows one to get to extremely tiny doses using a dropper. A pill form would be easier but the liquid is very doable. Unfortunately I’m very familiar with the chart you provided.

Actually Clonazapam does come in a 0.125 dose. I used it myself from my doctor to taper off. It is difficult for sure but can be done with determination and willpower. It takes time and quite a bit of suffering with extreme anxiety but it is so worth it in the end when you get your life back. I also went for therapy, walked everyday, and stopped caffeine while tapering off. Good luck to everyone attempting to rid your body of these awful drugs❣️Just keep plugging away one day at a time and before you know it it will be over.

Right! I’d forgotten about the disintegrating 0.125 tablets. They are not commonly prescribed. Thank you for noting. Still, Klonopin is an extremely potent benzodiazepine, and doctors often say 1mg is a “tiny” dose, which is very misleading. I’m glad you’re off of it. I cannot wait, but it is a very long and arduous journey especially after decades of use. Best of everything to all.
