Question about Temazepam and Klonopin using Ashton

[[Fe...]]

I'm on both Temazepam and Klonopin. My Doctor originally was having me cut down my dose of K from 2mg to 1.5 and then had me dose down another .5. The second .5 cut was so bad I ended up So my boyfriend took sick leave to be with me. I had a good window but I'm entering another bad period and I haven't even dosed down. I take 30mg every night of Temazepam and I'm down to 1 mg of K in the form of .5mg twice a day. I wake up feeling anxious. I think the Temazepam has finally gotten to tolerance withdrawal as I have been on it since around late February and the doctor wanted me to taper the Klonopin down first.

 

I want to start tapering the Temazepam with the Ashton method, though convincing the Doctor to go along with this will be difficult as I make too little money for insurance so I'm dealing with my county's awful, uncommunicative, unsupportive "behavioral wellness." The doc himself is fine, but I effectively have no therapist as they have done nothing to transfer my case to a different therapist and case manager than the verbally abhsive jerk I'm putting in a complaint about.

 

However I'm wondering how to start an Ashton taper off 1mg of Klonopin. I want to cross over to Valium for the Temazepam and that seems fairly clear for Temazepam, but I'm wondering how to do it for 1mg Klonopin...

Do you want to taper the K or make the C/O?

I want to C/O the Klonopin eventually but I want to deal with C/Oing one medicine at once but I want a solid plan of attack to present to my doctor for him to even consider. Tapering the K worked down to this point but I will finish tapering the K with a C/O after I taper the Temazepam first

 

Just having a plan will help get my Doctor to agree with my plan instead of just calling me "meds non-compliant."
