Made too large cuts, upping the Klonopin for a while, advices?

[[Ac...]]

A copy/paste post from my thread titled "Experiences of quicker cross-overs...)" I just posted the following there;

 

"I woke up at 3 am today or shall I say tonight...so the diazepam, in my CURRENT SITUATION, isn't giving the full nights sleep anymore...I slept only about 5hours. But without the diazepam I wouldn't have been able to fall asleep at all. But, remember that I was stupid when I skipped not only the 1.5mg klonopin with 25mg valium-stage from the Ashton's manual, I tried to almost (was on it only 5 days) skip the 1mg klonopin w/ 30mg diazepam stage as well, and to finish my stupidity, I even tried to cut the valium from 25mg to 20mg for a couple of days, because "I felt like I can", even though I should've INCREASE my diazepam dosage! Try not his at home, or at anywhere, all I can say for now that I learned a lot. I never anymore will skip the stages from the Ashton's manual, it's my bible from now on.

So you have to keep in mind that no wonder why my sleep was interrupted, despite the diazepam (which I hoped to be the miracle drug for me, and that it would allow me to skip the stages of the Manual...)

 

I'm at the point now that I will go to the stage I skipped at first, and take 1.5mg klonopin with 25mg valium for a while, until I am sure that I can go down again, this time safely. And I will make everything by the Manual from now on.

 

I'm planning to take a bit more (like 2 mg) klonopin today, to stop this pain in my face and all the miserable feelings I have practically constantly, despite the diazepam. This is also in order to "correct" the lack of klonopin in my system as soon as possible, and then start the stage which consists 3x .5mg klonopin daily, with the diazepam. It's only 14 days since I dropped from 2mg klonopin to only 1mg daily for a couple of days, and I then made another cut again! I was delusional and counted too much on the diazepam. I just have to go by the manual, I learned it by the hard way. I hope this won't make anything bad to my withdrawal process...?

 

Any opinions and suggestions are more than welcome, from all of you Buddies out there. Is this a good plan (to go up in the dose of klonopin, to the stage that I skipped; 1.5mg K, 25mg V)? Or should I stay at 1mg with 30mg valium and just wait for a longer time, all the while HOPING that this will correct the lack of klonopin in my system. At this point I just don't feel (anymore..) that taking 2x .5mg of klonopin won't make me stable, at least in a LONG TIME.

 

THANK YOU firefly, and please feel free to say it to me if you, or anyone else, notice that I try a way too rapid cross-over again!

 

PS. I won't update my dose regime until I'm 100% sure what to do for now  "

 

 

 

So, again, all opinions and advices are welcome, about what would be the best option for me right now, and have I messed up my cross-over or w/d thanks to my stupidity?! Because I have to go up in the dosage of klonopin, does this harm my process? My thinking is like I just have to go up to a level (but not above 1.5mg klonopin w/ 25mg valium, unless for a day at most) where I feel stable enough ASAP, and then stay there, before cutting again.

 

I have to go for now so I stay quiet for a while...Thanks and looking for responses from all of you knowledgeable buddies!

Thank you my friend.

 

Here's the plan, after some thinking. I just stop worrying too much, making a bigger deal of this than it is, and instead I just focus to go by the Ashton manual for now. It seems that nobody else has a better advice, but I'm still open. So in short: I start to go through the stage that I skipped totally, the stage of 1.5mg clonazepam with 25mg diazepam daily. As simple as that. I took 1,5mg of clonazepam (with 10mg diazepam) already in the early morning to ease my symptoms, and to correct the lack of clonazepam in my system. The effects already are starting to fade away. Now, I just wait few hours and take the pills by the book. Then, hopefully in a week or two I'm ready to move on to the next stage.

 

So, now I can replace the emoji by some boring numbers

Wish I could help you. I am in a similar position. Tapered too quickly and don’t know what to do. Been a week that I halved my dose from 1 mg a night to .50. Only realized after googling and this site what a shocking drug this is to get off. I wish you health and a speedy withdrawal. 🙏🏻
