Alcohol detox

Im not sure if this is the right place to ask this or if i even can... im new...
Anyways i was wondering if someone were prescribed Klonopin(no other benzo) for alcohol withdrawl outpatient what would be the prescribed dose. Previously i was prescribed 1mg ativan 3 a day for 7 days and 10mg valium 3 a day for 7 days. I was wondering what the average dose would be if Klonopin were prescribed.

As I understand de tox.....it's all up to your doctor
as to what is prescribed and the dosage needed.

So...it's a medical issue and SR members are not allowed
to share on such matters. Ask your doctor please.
