Question 151515

Question for @everhopeful.

I remember reading that you took benzos. I might be mistaken. Did you get off them or are you still on them?

I was on 0.5mg cloneazepam for about a year. I tapered off it and it was difficult.

This is what I had to do :

Tablet every other day for 2 weeks
Then
Tablet every 3 days for 2 weeks
Then
Tablet every 4 days for 2 weeks
Etc.
Then
Tablet every week for 2 weeks
Then I gave them up completely.

Have you ever experienced inner vibrations from the taper? Like jerks, spasms twitches etc.

I seem to remember my main problem was chest pressure which is why I had to reduce so slowly. Didn’t want to take risks with my heart.

Different people get different withdrawal symptoms.

I was able to quit benzos cold turkey, with no problems whatsoever.

How long and what dose were you on? @mermaid1

I took it for around 4 months I guess before bed, up to 2-3 mg on some days. I guess it had no effect on me at all.
