My son has been on Klonopin for many many years. I am trying to help him foresee a taper.

Hi Hap49  Welcome to BenzoBuddies!

 

I am glad you found us. The majority of people can get off benzodiazepines with little to no problems, and others struggle horribly. My best piece of advice for your son is to taper slowly. He has been on them many years. The recommended reduction rate is 5 to 10 percent every two weeks. One can always adjust from there.

 

You might like to check out The Ashton Manual it is an authoritative source on what to expect in withdrawal and recovery.  Dr. Ashton is an expert in the field. 

 

Please feel free to post to any of the dedicated boards, we have a wonderful community of people here, who will give sound advice. Members have been through all aspects of benzodiazepine use and withdrawal and are more than willing to share their experiences.

Please take the time to Create a Signature.  This will allow others to see where your son is in the process so they can better support you/him.

 

Again Welcome!
