Trying not to get my hopes up...

Well, made my cut from .5 to .375 Monday night and its Wednesday night and I'm feeling pretty great. Been having bad muscle spasms in my back which I'm not sure is related (input on that would be nice) and I get really spacey towards the end of the day and obviously still feeling tired as all get out, but other than that I've been feeling wonderful. Been feeling a lot more connected to those around me, more rational, better sex drive (sorry if thats tmi), less irritable, more motivated and less headaches. I'm just scared that when I hit day 4/5 I'm gonna be miserable again 😰 praying for the best but anticipating the worst.

may I ask why you made a cut from .5 to .375 so quickly?  I only ask because it can often take almost 2 weeks to feel the full effect of a klonopin cut.  I always felt the cuts within a few days, but it was between day 12 and 16 that my symptoms really spiked.  Good luck, and I hope you have an easy taper!

Dolphinator,

Well I was going to do less, but my doctor recommended I do this schedule but just hold as long as I need to so I'm trying it out. If I have issues then they said to call and they will adjust my prescription refills as needed so hes willing to work with me but so far my symptoms are somewhat manageable. The only symptoms that really freak me out is the dp/dr and that has only happened 2 times so far. All physical symptoms I can push through I've got a high pain tolerance and don't really have a choice with my 2 babies which is helpful more than anything. Its the mental crap that gets me. So if that starts to happen more frequently ill definitely slow it down a bit. But I'm gonna hold here where,im at at least 2 weeks to be safe. But so far my symptoms hit around day 3 and peak at day 4-7 and then start to fade a bit day by day. So far anyways. We will see how it goes going lower though.

glad you are feeling pretty well!  As long as you feel you can handle the cuts, and your doctor is willing to work with you if you need to slow down, it sounds like you are doing well!  Good luck with your taper!
