Hey guys! So I'm on day 9 of my taper and so far so good.

Everyday I take my klonopin dose along with my vitamin at 10am. Well earlier when I went to take them I put them both in my mouth (I'm only taking .125 of the klonopin so the pill is super small) and I put the water in my mouth, went to swallow them and my vitamin got stuck. So i kinda coughed it back up (it stayed in my mouth) and swallowed it back down.

 

I didn't feel the klonopin get stuck or come back up when I coughed but my anxiety is making me think I didn't swallow it and now I'm freaking out and worrying that i missed a dose and am going to have a seizure or something  :laugh: so part of me wants to take like half of a .125 or another .125 just to be "safe" even though I know in my non anxious brain I had to have swallowed it because where else would it have gone?

 

I'm just scaring myself over here  :-\

Would it be harmful if I took a little more?

It wouldn't hurt you but you won't have a seizure regardless. I suspect your anxiety is 100 percent fear. If you coughed it into your mouth it would have gone down. Even dissolving it your mouth would be ok. Honestly you are in no danger. No need to panic. I've fallen asleep before my night dose on occasion and missed my pills. Just resumed next day and was fine. But if taking the small .125 again helps your panic it won't hurt you. B

Yep my anxiety is all worry/panic how could you tell? LOL

 

I just wasn't sure if me taking another .125 would set me back on my taper or anything or if I could just resume my normal tapering dose and move on.

 

The crazy thing is like I said I didn't even feel the klonopin get stuck just my vitamin so it had to have went down. But again it's just my anxious mind trying to mess with me

Yup our minds tend to do this a lot. Lol part of the drill. Don't worry either way you'll be fine. B

So even if for some strange way unbeknownst to me the pill didn't get swallowed (LOL) I would be okay missing this dose An picking back up tomorrow? I only take the dose once a day

And if I took a small dose tonight I wouldn't get set back in my taper?

I think you will be ok either way. If it were me I wouldnt take any more, just wait till tomorrow. You didnt cough the vitamin all the way out so the klonopin probably stayed in too.

I'm sorry I sound so crazy lol. Now that I think of it there's probably people who have jumped from my position too.

And yeah the vitamin stayed in my mouth and I drank a buttload of water afterward to get it down so I don't think the klonopin magically went out of my mouth.

 

But IF it did and I missed today's dose I'll be okay?

 

Gotta love anxiety  ::)
