Down to .005mg of klonopin

[[al...]]

From what I can tell most people who got down to this mg (.005mg) jumped.  This is no joke, but I've been tapering since April of 2013.  My starting dose was roughly 2.5mg per day.  Eitherway, i'm down to .005mg and i'm really just looking for someone to knock some sense in me.  Let me know that i'm just obsessing at this point.

How has your taper been for you over the years?  How are you feeling at present?  Are you still feeling any uptick after cutting?

 

FYI, I jumped at 0.006mg.  Completely different story from yours though, as unbeknownst to me I'd most likely been in tolerance w/d for quite some time before even starting my taper.

My withdrawal over these years have been rough--like very rough.    When I cut, I feel a small difference, but that could very well be psychosomatic.  Because my cuts are small, and I hold for 3 weeks between them.

What does very rough mean, lol.  Details?  What symptoms?  How are you feeling presently?  Are you functioning well?

 

I definitely felt every cut even going down that low, a small uptick after three days which lasted a couple of days before baseline again.  My final jump was quite uneventful.  I hit the so called "acute" patch after about 3 weeks ... super intense head pressure and weakness/fatigue/malaise ... it lasted about 5 days.  And that was it. 

 

Amazing you're down to fumes now, terrific going!

Rough = i can't work, I had to put of grad school, mostly stuck in bed.  Symptoms would include, usual dizzyness, ringing in my ears, fatigue, visual issues, etc...

 

With that said, over the years I seem to improve. But still not well enough to be a functioning member of society.  But it's all good, because I feel only good will come from this.

I think it's a super positive sign if you've been noticing slight improvement over the years.  I did as well as I tapered down, some of the usual suspects like vibrations, etc. and they then disappeared for good within a decent time frame. 

 

My thoughts?  Follow your gut.  If you feel more dizziness after cuts now, I personally would keep tapering a little more.  No harm trying to cushion it a little more.  Also if you're the anxious type, you know, psychologically it may be easier for you.

 

Best of luck to you, all going well you'll continue to see only more and more improvements going forward.

Cool.. Yeah, i'll continue to cut some more.  I really am an anxious person so the added insurance of tapering down some more will be good.

[[lo...]]

you can keep cutting, but it won't make much difference. if you cut and feel bad symptoms I would jump at this point

I just want to congratulate you on getting so close to the finish line! Good luck to you!
