Ativan to Valium crossover schedule - may help someone

Hello all,

I am currently taking 1.33mg of Ativan daily.

1st dose: 0.34mg Ativan

2nd dose: 0.34mg Ativan

3rd dose: 0.33mg Ativan

4th dose: 0.32mg Ativan

Total Ativan = 1.33mg 

My crossover schedule was going to be like this:

Week 1    1st dose: 0.34mg Ativan

               2nd dose: 0.34mg Ativan

               3rd dose: 0.33mg Ativan

               4th dose: 3.00 Valium

Week 2    1st dose: 0.34mg Ativan

               2nd dose: 0.34mg Ativan

               3rd dose: 3.00 Valium

               4th dose: 3.00 Valium

Week 3    1st dose: 0.34mg Ativan

               2nd dose: 3.00 Valium

               3rd dose: 3.00 Valium

               4th dose: 3.00 Valium

Week 4    1st dose: 3.00 Valium

               2nd dose: 3.00 Valium

               3rd dose: 3.00 Valium

               4th dose: 3.00 Valium

 

This would take me a total dose of 12mg valium daily.  What do you think of the equivalency?  I would then hold and stabilize.  Did anyone find the valium makes them feel the way ativan did when they first started taking ativan?
