DESPARATE HELP 0.5mg Klonipen at night time (how to taper down from here


Recommended Posts

Posted

HELP -- I'm new here. I was on 5 to 10 mg of Valium on and off for five years.  Finally went down on slow wean and stopped December 30, 2016. Mid March 2017 I had surgery, surgeon  put me on 0.5 mg Klonopin 2x a day for two weeks before  surgery and three weeks after as well. I took it longer to try to do taper but stopped too abruptly mid-April. I experienced tingles all over my head face body.  I called my PCP told him I wasn't sleeping and I stopped the Clonopin. He said take 0.5 mg a night to sleep as sleep is the most important thing for recovery. Now,  i've been taking 0.5 mg of Klonopin every night for sleep, in addition to 2 melatonin, 1 Theanine, 100 mg of gabapentin since April. The last week I've been experiencing extreme head body face tingles and even headaches . I don't know if it's the Clonopin or the gabapentin that's causing this.  I also stopped 5 mg of oxycodone last week. Tried Kratom  to help with the withdrawal of Oxy  and then stopped the Kratom two days ago.  I vomited yesterday and the day before yesterday. Need help on what to.  Should I wait two weeks until I'm totally finished with stopping the oxycodone or should I taper the Klonipen?  Is it OK to use Clonopin for a taper? Or should I transition to Valium? Since I take the 0.5mg at Klonipen only at night how should I introduce Valium? How much of each and when? Suggestions of what to use for sleep? PLEASE REPLY. I need as much feedback as possible. Thanks.

 

I TAPERED TOO QUICKLY -- I went from 0.5mg of Klonipen 2x a day mid-March to 1 1/2 pills for a only one week in April, then down to 1 pill (0.5mg) which I have been taking since the end of April. Since that time and even more so now (maybe because I stopped the OXY last week), I'm experiencing tingles all over body, face, head, dizziness, weakness, full body aches and vomiting. PLEASE HELP ME TAPER. I'm on 0.5mg Klonipen at night. I need help sleeping. Getting only four hours of sleep.
