Would the one clonzapam be out of my system so i could take a sleep aid tonight?
Brief Answer:
levels would be decreasing, so you can use
Detailed Answer:
HI
The half life of clonazepam is thirty to forty hours. The half life of a drug is the time it takes for the amount of drug in the system to decrease by half.
It takes 2 to 4 half lives for a drug to be completely eliminated but the levels would be progressively decreasing.
Since the levels would be on the decline, you can consider using a sleep aid.
Please feel free to ask any additional questions
