Clonazepam (Klonopin) and lorazepam (Ativan) are medications in a class of drugs called benzodiazepines. They are usually used to treat anxiety attacks, panic attacks, to relax patients or to induce sleep in some cases of insomnia. Taking both drugs together can have a additive effect and make you considerably drowsy, lethargic, and/or knock you out depending on the dose of the drugs and your sensitivity to the agents. It may be dangerous to take both together if you have certain medication conditions so it is always a good idea to ask your pharmacist before taking these medications.

Can you substitute clonipin safely for ativan while stopping Ativan?

Because Klonopin (generic name clonazepam) has a much higher halflife than Ativan (generic name lorazepam) at 18-50hrs compared to 9-16hrs for lorazepam, there should be little risk. If you are taking clonazepam just to get off of lorazepam, you cannot simply stop the clonazepam once you are off the lorazepam. Both drugs are benzodiazepines and while they can be fairly interchangable, your body will still have tolerance to them, and suddenly stopping high doses of them will result in restlessness, tremors, and potentially seizures. Benzodiazepine withdrawal is not a pleasant experience, you should consult your doctor about substituting the lorazepam with something like clonazepam or diazepam and have a schedule for tapering down the dosage. SHORT ANSWER: Yes, but then you will have to continue taking the clonazepam instead.
