Help with plan – taper 0,25 mg clonazepam (Rivotril)

[[Ma...]]

Dear All,

 

I would like to taper my Rivortil doses (at the moment I take minimum 0,125 mg, maximum 0,25 mg/day). I have already started to read the Ashton manual. My plan is to switch to diazepam and try to taper that drugs.

 

In 2012 I hade to take 4x0,5 mg Frontin, 4x0,5 mg Rivortil and different kinds of antidepressants, because of Lyme disease. I had neuroborrelia and my nervous system was attacked by the bacterium. I had terrible time... but anyway In 2015 I finished to take antidepressant and Frontin very slowly. Then I continued with Rivotril very slowly. At the moment I take 0,125 mg or 0,25 mg Rivortil per day but I stuck. I can not use smaller amount because I feel bad ....but I really would like to quit somehow because I would like to have a baby (I will have IVF in August, and I can not wait more time because I am 41 years old). It is possible to quit in three month?

 

Is there anyone who can help me to plan how to switch and taper? I am not native English speaker, so I really need your support not to do something wrong!

 

I am waiting for the answer of my doctor about switching Diazepam. I am not sure yet that she will support this idea, but hopefully. My OB told me this Rivotril doses is very low so he thinks the baby wont have any problem during pregnancy and after delivery. But I am not convinced . At least I would like to use the smallest amount as I can.

 

My other question: Can anyone suggest me maybe natural supplements, herbal medicines that can help with taper? I mean for example: cbd oil, GABA, 5-htp, glycine, valerain root....etc.

 

Is there any supplement which is not recommended to take during taper?

 

Thank you for your answer in advance! 

 

Manni

Well, here's a response you probably DON'T want to hear.

 

4 X .5 (2mg) is NOT a "low dose"!  That's the equivalent of 40mg diazepam.

Dear builder!

 

Thanks for the reply. You misunderstand me. I used to take 2mg Rivortil, at the moment I take 0,25 mg/day. That is not that much I think and I would like to taper this amount.
