On clonazepam for 4 years, free 10 months ago

[[br...]]

Hi, I'm Gonzalo from Uruguay, I used Clonazepam for 4 years due to insomnia since 2014, until I came to a notary who had gained a few kilos and I wanted to quit. There started hell. I did not understand what was going on until I found this forum in English. I feel if you do not understand much, I use the translator because I do not handle English well

Welcome to BenzoBuddies!  We are glad you decided to join us.  You'll find a lot of support and information on this forum, which is the only one of its kind online.  Your translation program is working well.  Are you off clonazepam now?

 

For those starting a taper, we generally recommend starting out at a rate of 5 to 10% every 10-14 days, then adjusting the taper to suit your own needs.  Note: very short term users may be able to taper faster.

 

Withdrawal symptoms, which vary widely but commonly include anxiety and insomnia, often occur during a taper, but these are temporary and will get better in time.  In general, first tapers are easier, but cold turkeys or multiple withdrawals may be more severe and longer lasting.  Here are a few links to get you started:

 

The Ashton Manual, a concise reference for tapering and symptom issues.  Chapter III contains excellent descriptions of common symptoms such as muscle issues, anxiety, and hyper-awareness

 

Withdrawal Support (during your taper)

 

Once again, welcome!

Gracias!  igual para ti

 

The most terrifying thing about this epidemic is that in Spanish there is absolutely nothing, I do not know how it occurred to me to look for information in English, and luckily I understood what was happening to me
