Klonopin Tapering

[[...]]

I have been on 1mg of Klonopine for 3 weeks and 0.50 for two months.  I have reduced my dosage to 0.125mg per day.  Was this to quick?  I am experiencing numbness in my face and noise sensivity.  I have been taking 0.125mg per day for 10 days now.  Should I consider upping my dosage or just continue my current coarse and deal with the symptoms.

Hello AKB,

 

Welcome to BenzoBuddies.

 

We'll be glad to support you in your taper off of Klonopin. It's hard to say if you reduced too quickly because you did not provide info on when you started to taper and how you made reductions.  Your symptoms do not sound too awful, but I know that if it were me, I would not continue reducing until the symptoms subsided at bit.  Please post your questions about your taper on the link I provide below, (General Taper Plans), and our member's will weigh in.  Great to have you!  Good luck.

 

Here are some helpful links:

       

You can post a topic about tapering on our General Taper Plans Board.  The second pink-highlighted post explains the three accepted taper methods.  Also:

 

The Ashton Manual is an authoritative source on what to expect in withdrawal and recovery.  Dr. Ashton is an expert in the field.  She describes and explains withdrawal symptoms, and there is also a section with withdrawal/taper schedules.

 

Members discuss their symptoms on Withdrawal Support (during your taper).

 

Please take the time to Create a Signature.  This will allow others to see where you are in the process so they can better support you.

 

Welcome to the board!
