In my 20 years in the ER. Overdoses with clonazepam take at a minimum 20-30mg to get on the vent. Respiratory arrest can occur with higher doses. Most of the time I see somewhere around 40-50 mg overdoses and they need absolute mechanical ventilation.
2 (two) .5mg talbets equals 1 mg
"! I want to know how many 0.5mg's dosages adds up to 1.0 dose?"
Well I jus did it so first im ever taken I jus took 2 Yep I seee I mite need 2 more yep...
Dear raner, Don't worry, as been said, that's a low dose. Please take it
just as the Dr. said. You should sleep lovely~~sincerely, DD
I am on this med and every one reacts to meds differantly... 0.5 is a very low dose and i don't think in my opinion u have anything to worry about..if this is the first time u r taking this med and u don't feel right contact the doctor, meaning if u have side effects that the med don't agree with u... but basically that dose will just give u a calming effect i am on 3x's that amount for i have severe panic/agorphobia and hypertension just to name one of my conditions and it helps to calm u down... help this helped
You won't overdose because it's a low dose, but it will make you really sleepy.
That is a very low dose and you certainly won't overdose. It may sedate you a little at first since you aren't used to medication, but it wouldn't harm you.
