Presently taking two .5 Klonopin daily. One in the A.M. One in the P.M. Would prefer one P.M. dose but this might not be a good thing because of interdose withdrawal. But this is the way I used to take it before my first taper attempt which I am now 2 weeks into. My total daily dose is 1.0 of K. Im using 250 ml water containing .5 K. The other .5 is dry dose. Pulled 2 ml. daily. Two weeks in got almost to sick to work or drive. I need a slow,slow taper plan. Slow enough to care for my family. Is this even possible? Are two year tapers to slow. Or are there even slower ones?  Are they recommended? Could I keep this plan pulling 1ml every other day, holding one day between pulls? Could I use 300 ml. water to further reduce the amount pulled? I don't have excel, I'm on a Mac. Can't get tailored spread sheets. I used a sample one. How to I get a taper schedule on here?  I don't care how long it takes just so I can function at some level. Might not be possible. Might have to stay on K for ever. Thanks for the help everyone. Any ideas welcome. Have a blessed day.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Update- Found a great answer to most every question I had here by Ben800 from 2015.  Don't know how to post the link so everyone can read it though. I now have tailored spreadsheets! Learned how to use MacBooks Numbers. Works with Windows Excel. Going with 300ml water. 1ml pulls. Hold if needed. 0.0017 daily drop. If all goes well in a couple months might switch to 250ml water for a daily pull of 0.0020. Slow I guess but it's not a race. Wish me well. Any and all ideas are still very much welcome.

I started detoxing off mg Klonopin August 6th using Valium.  My doctor wouldn't give me more then 15mg V.  Before that I was never able to get lower then 2.5mg on the K.  Now I'm down to .5mg K, but got up higher then the 15mg on the Valium so I'm doing a milk liquid titration to get the Valium back down the 15mg and then psych doc wants me to focus on getting off the final .5mg K.  H made me a spreadsheet to use and today is only Day 4, but I'm back down to 18mg V and just taking the .5 K at bedtime.  I was going to try and get down to 10mg on the V, but he wants me to hold at 15mg V to give me an extra cushion to get off the final .5 K.  Then it's back to getting off the V and then off all Benzos (YESS!!!)

 

You can do this and you are not alone.
