I just don't understand
I just don't understand because it says the half-life of clonazepam is like 15 to 50 hours. It just seems like that is a big difference. Is that the amount of time it stays in your system? or how long it continues to work? I am still confused. I appreciate your response, but if you can elaborate a little maybe i will understand better. Has anyone taken klonapin? That could explain their experiences?
Thanks for anymore input.

Half life: Half life has
Half life: Half life has nothing to do with the dosage you take. Half
life refers to how long it takes for the body to clear half of the
amount ingested. If you took .5mg or 3mg., the half life would be the
same. There would be less of the drug present in your circulation at a
low dosage, but it still takes about 35 hours to clear half of the
amount. Klonopin half life is around 35 hours, with a PEAK level of
the drug at about two hours. Absorption can depend on diet and your
metabolism.

The biological half-life of a substance is the time required for half of that substance to be removed from an organism by either a physical or a chemical process.
