Hi, i don't think you're clear on these medicines, basically you're switching one for the other, but they're very similar drugs. Kindly review with current doctor as to why this change has been made or consult a qualified MD Psychiatrist for a second opinion

Hello Friend, Yes, it is generally acceptable to cross-taper from clonazepam to lorazepam under medical supervision, especially if lorazepam has been prescribed for bedtime use during clonazepam tapering. Both are benzodiazepines, but they have different half-lives. Clonazepam is long-acting, while lorazepam is intermediate-acting. Using lorazepam during the taper can help prevent withdrawal symptoms like rebound anxiety or insomnia. However, it's crucial to follow the tapering schedule closely and remain under regular monitoring, as individual response may vary.

you are tapering Clonazepam & taking lorazepam 1 mg under guidance of the doctor.You can continue lorazepam 1mg & further it will be tapered by the doctor as per symptom profile.Since you were taking Clonazepam & now tapering, so you can feel anxiety or early morning awakening, another medications must be taken you have not mentioned regarding it, So if symptoms reoccur, discuss with the doctor for further management

Kindly consult

Hi From what u could get from your question asked ….you want to ask that can you replace clonazepam with lorazepam directly The different benzodiazepines have different duration of action and we shift from one benzodiazepine to another based on equivalent dosage For that please consult a Psychiatrist ,so that this can be done in a correct manner and no withdrawal symptoms occur because of the same

Clonazepam is given for various reasons and without treating the problem, symptoms will worsen after shifting or decreasing the dosage of Clonazepam. If you start tapering, stick to lower dose and don't shift to other similar drug.
