I’ve been down to .5 for a while now. Thursday I took .25. Didn’t take it yesterday or this morning. Do you think I’ll face withdrawal soon??? My brain is very good at fighting withdrawal. I don’t get withdrawal easily. Except caffeine and nicotine really. And even that I don’t get it as bad as some people. I wonder if I’ll need to take klonopin again. I’m not gonna try to be a hero by fighting it if I could easily just take a pill to get rid of the withdrawal. But it’d be cool to be off of it.

Dude 0.5 or 0.25 is such a small dose I doubt you’ll have withdrawals. BUT just to be safe you should probably take one of the 0.25 today. Try taking it every other day for about a week to properly ween yourself off and reduce the risk of withdrawal seizures.

The naltrexone has been such a miracle drug for me it’s steadily improved my anxiety over time. Before I started naltrexone 1.0 klonopin was not enough. But I didn’t wanna increase it. So I was on the edge of not being able to cope, even with 1.0. But after a year of naltrexone my anxiety is gone. I should wean off more properly though like you said.
I was on 0.5mg a day, and got horrible withdrawals. The way I eventually came if it was by slowly increasing the amount of days between taking it.
At the beginning I would take it every other day for 2 weeks, then every 3 days for two weeks, etc.
Doing it slowly was the key.
Good luck coming off it.
I just took about .20. I bit off a piece of the .5 pill. It was less than half the pill. So id say .20. Or .19 or so

Maybe I’ll still take them as prns but right now not much going on in my life so I don’t need klonopin. I used to have panic attacks if I didn’t take it regardless of what I was doing…
Update: feeling really anxious so took the other half. Like I said “not gonna try and be a hero”
You’ve got to come off benzos slowly, as there are physical withdrawal symptoms to consider too. Like you could have heart problems etc.
My main “mental” withdrawals were irritability and anger out of nowhere. All that from just 0.5mg a day.
As I said, consider doing it the way I did it, which was making a change every 2 weeks.
Every other day for 2 weeks
Every 3rd day for 2 weeks
Every 4th day for 2 weeks
Etc.
I tried splitting the pills at the beginning, and that was a disaster and didn’t work for me.

Thanks @everhopeful!!! But I may just concede for now. Eventually I can try your method but maybe I’ll wait 6 months or so.

I can come over and give you a back rub. Tense muscles make you stressed out.
My 0.5mg pills can be split into 4.
