Didn't Expect This

Tapered from .25 K to .125 and felt ok, so, stopped completely and after 1 week bad symptoms started to kick my but---which have lasted for last 17 days. So, should I:

1)--restart at .125 and taper slowly to 0.

                or

2)--do nothing and ride it out.

I don't see a signature saying how long you took the k for.... that could be a factor in deciding what to do.

Personally, I would try to hold out a few days.  For many people, major symptoms start to subside after the 2-3 week mark.  When I tapered klonopin, I had a massive spike in symptoms between days 14-17 after completing my taper.  At day 18, they started to subside, and at day 23, my derealization and terror feeling went away.  (To be fair, I did have some severe physical symptoms hit me a week later in regards to muscle issues - but I was tapered very quickly after over a decade on the drug).

 

I would look at it this way - if you can handle the symptoms you have now for another week or two, then I would try to hold off.  However, if the symptoms become unbearable and I couldn't stand the thought of another week, then I would reinstate at .125mg and taper.  If you do decide to reinstate and taper lower, go slowly, because you don't want to have to reinstate a second time.  Good luck!
