Clonazepam is considered to be a “long-acting” benzodiazepine which means that the effects of taking it last longer than with similar types of drugs. How long it stays in your system is dependent on quite a few factors including your weight, age, sex, metabolism, whether or not your are stressed, and whether you are taking any other medications or have any other conditions (such as kidney disease). Also remember that pills taken orally are metabolized slower than drugs injected into the bloodstream. Theoretically, Clonazepam should be metabolized by our body in about six hours but your body isn’t entirely rid of it for 30 hours.
