Klonopin – anti-anxiety and anti-epileptic medication of the benzodiazepine class; L. Lamictal (lamotrigine) – an anticonvulsant used as a mood stabilizer ...
Clonazepam, sold under the brand name Klonopin among others, is a benzodiazepine medication used to prevent and treat anxiety disorders, seizures, bipolar mania, agitation associated with psychosis, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and akathisia. [11] It is a long-acting [12] tranquilizer of the benzodiazepine class. [11]
The consensus is to reduce dosage gradually over several weeks, e.g. 4 or more weeks for diazepam doses over 30 mg/day, [1] with the rate determined by the person's ability to tolerate symptoms. [120] The recommended reduction rates range from 50% of the initial dose every week or so, [121] to 10–25% of the daily dose every 2 weeks. [120]
Fluvoxamine, sold under the brand name Luvox among others, is an antidepressant of the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) class.

The lethal dose for 50% of dogs is 100 – 200 mg per kilogram (kg) of body weight, yet some dogs will exhibit signs of toxicosis after ingesting as little as 20 mg per kg. [38] In case of accidental intake of chocolate, especially involving a smaller dog, contact a veterinarian or animal poison control immediately; it is commonly recommended ...
Evidence from reviews of benzodiazepine tolerance mechanisms [42] and clonazepam use in psychiatric disorders [43] is strongly discordant with the claim that benzodiazepines lose anxiolytic efficacy over a period of weeks, as these reviews present RCT evidence of continued anxiolytic efficacy at up to 22 weeks [44] and observational (open-label ...

The mental health and ...
In dogs doses in excess of 300 mg/kg led to vomiting, salivation, ataxia, and drowsiness. Chronic toxicity: In an 18-months-study in rats with 10 mg/kg no signs of chronic toxicity were noted, with 50 mg/kg and 250 mg/kg only a slight loss of weight, and with 250 mg/kg mildly elevated Alkaline phosphatase and Gamma-GT .
