P., I'd try 3mg Ativan to replace 1mg Xanax; or maybe 2mg, taking into account that you already have Valium onboard. My suggestion is to go by feel.
The conversion tables are useful for general reference and all, but they {obviously} don't take into account how each benzo feels for each person.
Personally, whenever I take a break from Klonopin, I need at least 7mg of Ativan in divided doses to fully cover for my usual 2mg Klonopin {quite higher than the conversion tables state}. But if I'm switching to Valium, 15mg will do nicely {much lower than the tables}.
It all boils down to how you feel, within reasonable limits. There's not much use in sticking to the tables if doing so will bring back panic, or have you feeling oversedated. HTH.
> Orbital have a full bottle here I could trial substituting it for xanax as only take at night and the luvox is supposed to potentiate the effects of it. When first on Luvox was with ativan lmg. Forget how many mg's. Thanks for the advise and sorry to hyjack:( Phippia
