It's ok Cam, it was an unfair question anyway. I was beating around the bush.... I was actually wanting to know how much I'd have to take in order to overdose.
Wanted to overdose yesterday but I don't anymore. I had a nice talk with a very good friend and that always helps. This friend has saved my life more than once and I wonder sometimes if he knows that?
Anyway, thanks for NOT being precise with your answer. You're good people Cam.

Oh, and as a PS....When you"re in SanFran, if Greg mentions Philly Cheesesteak, be afraid, be very afraid!> Tina - We are doing as good as can be expected; still trying to find that "new normal".

> As for the dose of clonazepam, it varies widely, depending upon the person. Talk this over with your doc, as he/she will have a better grasp of your situation, history and needs. I find that one should use a dose of benzodiazepines that takes away the symptoms (ie the lowest dose needed to fend off the symptoms), but dependence problems start once the dose is regualarily being increased. Augmentation with an SSRI or a mood stabilizer is also another alternative to raising the clonazepam dose. I would not be able to say what a proper dose for you would be. I am only the drug guy and am shitty at diagnosis.
