Trying to come off Klonopin so I can take it as needed instead of everyday like I am now.
I’m cutting down slowly but still going through some withdrawals.
Beware of benzos.
These are some of the most addictive substances around.
I only took 0.5mg every day for 7 days and now I’m hooked!
Damn!
I was able to come off easily. I took for about 3 weeks then stopped. I guess everyone is different.
When I was taking Klonopin I only took it when I had anxiety and stress. Sorry to hear you’re not well on it. Talk to your pdoc.
Yes I talked to my psychiatrist about it and she said to taper down slowly.
Maybe I’m not cutting down slow enough.
She also said that I could take it everyday if it helps me function.
But I’m afraid of tolerance if I take it everyday
That’s not a very long time. What withdrawal symptoms are you having?
I know, 7 days is not a long time but I’m not imagining my withdrawal symptoms.
Headaches, stomach disturbances, flu like symptoms, severe mood swings
You’ll be okay in a week or two. I know benzo withdrawal is rough. I went through it with Ativan.
Yeah thanks @TheCanuk
I’ve been through it before years ago
No problem, keep us updated!
Yeah I will thanks!
I take Xanax. Only .25 mg. Used to take it every day but now I don’t. I never had any withdrawals.
I don’t need it every day anymore though.
Good luck
Youll do it, pal!! 
Am on klonopin since years and the last time ive stopped it, i was good for the hospital only… 
I take it now without much help anymore from it, but i take it only cause i dont want a withdrawal now, am still too fragile…
But itll be awesome if you can do it without it…
Tbh, in my illness, i was more a zombie my whole life than having an energy, so klonopin even depresses me a bit now, but ill still take it…
Yeah, benzos are tough i know…
Hugs dear 
Good luck with that, you can do it yeap! 
Thanks @Anna1 and @Phrogflyer!
Everybody whose on it has to taper properly or pay big time. If you continually increase the dose you’ll develop a tolerance. Sad but true.
Yes I know this already
Thanks
I had terrible withdrawals from Ativan. And I recently took it two times again during PMS, and felt weird for two weeks after. It’s bad stuff. Good you come off now, in the early phase. Take it slow, you can come through it. Good luck.
Thanks @anon23801855 15
@Wave you have a real tendency to catastrophize and also are a bit hypochondriac in your posts. To become addicted to klonopin you’d need to be taking it continuously for 3 to 4 weeks minimum.
Taking 0.5 mg 7 times isn’t going to cause this.
Maybe addiction is the wrong word
But when I cut down on the dose from 0.5mg to 0.25mg I’m experiencing physical discomfort like headaches and mild nausea etc…
This is all possible according to my doctor.
So it’s not all in my head like you alluded to @anon4362788
@Wave you’ve had something posted about almost every medication you try. Always something negative. So of course people are going to notice.
I’m not trying to be mean, but addiction and dependence are serious conditions. Jumping to claiming such a thing after a week of a med is going to get headshakes.
