re - Dr Heather Ashton, |

With all due respect to Dr Ashton and her credentials - I'd feel more comfortable with information authored by someone with more recent credentials along with more recent research, broader studies, etc |
|||
For example, the equivalent dosing given for (the most commonly prescribed benzos) xanax, ativan, klonopin, and Ambien are questionable and everywhere I've looked where Dr Ashton's table is published, a note / disclaimer is given that user / patient experiences will vary. |

Again, I have utmost respect for Dr Ashton, but I feel her conclusions derived from her research are a bit dated. |

On the flip side - I had a frustrating experience finding anyone else's work published or referred to that could be used to support my concerns for my "Talk" contribution. (so please, no flaming nor bashing) :-) |

Ketazolam
The 2 hour half life of ketazolam was a typing mistake in professor Ashton's Equivalence Table and professor heather ashton had her equivalence table corrected in print and online. I have updated this information in wikipedia to reflect the correction of this mistake. [Ashton CH Equivalent Table] I hope that this resolves the dispute.

- Isn't ketazolam metabolizeb pretty quickly to its active metabolites nordazepam and diazepam?--84.163.75.62 (talk) 11:39, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
I am not sure about how quickly it is metabolised into diazepam and then nordazepam. It is metabolised from ketazolam to demoxepam and then to diazepam and then to oxazepam, temazepam and nordazepam. Nordazepam has a half life of between 36-200 hours.--Literaturegeek (talk) 20:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Midazolam
I believe the midazolam equivalency dose is wrong. In research I haven't been able to find much more than anecdotal comments that 15mg is about equivalent to 10mg Diazepam. Because it's more sedating though it appears to be stronger. Can anyone find a citation for this? It's left out of Ashton's Equivalence Table and most sites seem to mirror only that data. I'd love to update it but I don't want to change it without a source though. Apastsoliloquy (talk) 06:49, 13 August 2009 (UTC)apastsoliloquy
The best that I can find is this study on equivalency. Based on it it seems that the equivalence given in this wikipedia article is roughly accurate. I have added this ref to the article.--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 14:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
This benzodiazepine is totally missing. It is sold under the moniker "Thiadipone" respectively "Tiadipona"... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.139.26.38 (talk) 08:20, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your comments. I am not sure if this benzodiazepine is actively marketed anywhere in the world? There is no equivalence information to other benzodiazepines. There are literally hundreds of benzos out there; what makes this benzo notable?--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 23:59, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
- I think the fact that you could get it prescribed in Spanish speaking parts of the world should be worth enough mentioning it. The Russian one is in the list, too. The pharmaceutical producer/the brand is Abbott... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.139.68.189 (talk) 13:37, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- Ah ok, thank you for the information. Do you have any references for its dose equivalence in relation to another benzodiazepine drug?--Literaturegeek | T@1k? 19:33, 24 March 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, I found this source, a rough guess would say that 75 mg of bentazepam is equivalent to about 20-25 mg of diazepam. It is a very rough equivalency though because it is just one study showing prescribed doses in patients with liver disease. The source actually shows a lower equivalent dose for diazepam of 10 mg, but that is because diazepam levels double in people with liver disease due to its long half life, so dose is reduced in those with liver disease, so I think as bentazepam is short acting, if we are going to calculate an equivalence then comparing it to the other short acting benzos will get a more accurate picture. So 1 mg of alprazolam = 20 mg of diazepam, 2.5 mg of lorazepam = 25 mg of diazepam, 50 mg of oxazepam = 25 mg of diazepam; so 75 mg probably = between 20-25 mg of diazepam. See bolded text below copied from source and compare to available equivalencies in sources for this wikipedia article for the benzos other than bentazepam.

Prescribed daily dose (PDD) as percentage of the defined daily dose (DDD) of the main groups of medication in patients with liver cirrhosis. Data are given as weighted mean ± standard deviation. (1 DDD is equivalent to, respectively, 10 mg glibenclamide, 0.160 mg gliclazide, 10 mg glipizide, 0.375 mg chlorpropamide, 0.25 mg digoxin, 5 mg amlodipine, 30 mg nifedipine, 240 mg diltiazem, 20 mg nisoldipine, 240 mg verapamil, 50 mg captopril, 10 mg enalapril, 150 mg irbesartan, 25 mg ramipril, 15 mg fosinopril, 3 g acetaminophen, 400 mg tiapride, 576 mg chlormethiazole, 2.5 mg lorazepam, 10 mg diazepam, 1 mg alprazolam, 75 mg bentazepam, 20 mg clorazepate, 10 mg bromazepam, 50 mg oxazepam, 1 mg lormetazepam, 1 mg flunitrazepam).

Dr Heather Ashton
re - Dr Heather Ashton,
With all due respect to Dr Ashton and her credentials - I'd feel more comfortable with information authored by someone with more recent credentials along with more recent research, broader studies, etc
For example, the equivalent dosing given for (the most commonly prescribed benzos) xanax, ativan, klonopin, and Ambien are questionable and everywhere I've looked where Dr Ashton's table is published, a note / disclaimer is given that user / patient experiences will vary.
Again, I have utmost respect for Dr Ashton, but I feel her conclusions derived from her research are a bit dated.
On the flip side - I had a frustrating experience finding anyone else's work published or referred to that could be used to support my concerns for my "Talk" contribution. (so please, no flaming nor bashing) :-)
