So, it’s a month since I started tappering off klonopin.
From 6mgs came to 3mg.
I feel fatique some evenings, cause I took them in morning…
I’m hoping to go to zero, and only take it as prn.
I substitute it some times with clozapine low dose…
Hope in next month I’ll be klonopin free…

Going from 6mg to 3mg of Klonopin shouldn’t give you so much trouble
But going from 3mg down to zero could cause you some suffering @anon25523312
Like @everhopeful said, go very slow

I take 2 mg Valium each night. It is a low dose and the next step down would be zero.

I see. I used to take my Xanax every night. It would keep me from having to take them prn. I would have breakdowns at work and would have to go to my car and take one. One time I had to drive home and take one.
Taking them every night stopped the panic attacks from happening.
Now I haven’t taken one in a week. I am not really working. Well kinda sort of. We own our own business but it’s not an 8 hour a day type thing. No stress either.
So if I have a panic attack I can take one.

I developed tolerance in fifteen years of taking it, and it has no effect on me, just dependence…
Sorry. I have never been dependent. But I only take .25 usually.

Here’s a post I made earlier :
I was on 0.5mg a day of clonazepam, 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 very slowly was the key.
Good luck coming off it.

Yes, @everhopeful, that’s the plan…
I’m seeing my pdoc next month to discuss further…
Thanks for tips.

I told the pdoc that I had given a girl who was withdrawing from heroin a couple of my Klonopin, and he immediately took me off the drug. It wasn’t too bad. For some people the benzos are very addicting, but they weren’t for me. I was a little more antsy than I cared to be for a while, but then everything got okay.

I’m currently taking half of a .5 every evening. I was on .5 quartered the pill and have gone down by fourths. It’s been very comfortable.

I wish my physician would prescribe Klonopin. .25mg. prn. I once had twenty pills leftover at the end of the month. So I don’t abuse it
Tapering is hard. Take it easy. Rox
