Clonazepam Dosage Change

I am taking a prescription of 2.5 mg/ml about four drops every 12 hrs. My new prescription went up to 0.5 mg. How much higher is this new dose in a pill?

Hi Rosie - So just to make sure I understand your question - You were taking 2.5mg/ml before, and now you're taking 0.5mg/ml? Or did you mean to say that you were taking 0.25mg/ml before?

Either way if you were to compare the numbers, 0.5mg/ml is twice the dosage of 0.25mg/ml, or 1/5th the dosage of 2.5mg/ml.

I hope this makes sense. Is this the information you were looking for?

Do you still have the old container for the drops? I need to know:

(1) How many mL or ounces of fluid were in the entire container? (it should hopefully say this on the bottle somewhere)

(2) About how long would a container last you for?

(3) How many 0.5mg tablets per day are you now prescribed to take?

If you don't have that information please let me know and I'll have to see if there is any other way to back into your answer...

there are 10ml in the entire drop container and i will be taking one or two pills (new prescription) depending on how i feel. my drops last almost a month taking 3 to 4 drops every 12hours.

Ok time to do some fun math -

First, knowing that the dose from the drops was 2.5mg/ml and there were 10ml in the entire container, it is safe to say that the entire container was 25mg of Clonazepam.

Approximating that over one month (30 days), that's about 0.83mg of Clonazepam per day.

Now if you are taking 2 x 0.5 mg per day in tablet form you are taking a total of 1mg Clonazepam per day or about a 20% higher dose.

I hope that all of this makes sense. I made calculations assuming that you are taking the 0.5mg twice per day. If this is not correct please let me know...
