I have been switched from 1.5 mg Xanax to 2.5 mg Ativan, and now my neurologist is switching me from Ativan to Klonopin. He instructed me to stop Ativan cold turkey and start with 0.5 mg Klonopin at noon and 1 mg at night. My previous Ativan dosing schedule was 1 mg in the morning, 0.5 mg in the afternoon, and 1 mg at bedtime. I also take 300 mg Neurontin at bedtime, which I will stop. Should I taper off Ativan before starting Klonopin to avoid withdrawal symptoms, and is the Klonopin dose sufficient to switch from 2.5 mg Ativan without risk of overdose or seizure?
