[Mi...] Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I decided to stick with my .50 reduction. I'm on day 6, with one of those days, forgetting to take it at all. I'm also keeping a journal this time around... So far, I've only had pressure in my face, like sinus symptoms that I normally get while tapering. I have to say my mental well-being is so far so good.

[ea...] Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I take it you have tapered before? Off of what? Hopefully, not benzos! east Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Mi...] Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 In the past, I've attempted to taper without success off of klonopin. I'm determined to rid myself of this crap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Mi...] Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Hi, Pamster! Thanks for asking. I'm actually feeling great today! I don't even have the pressure in my face today. Today is day 7 of the .50.... really day six with one day of nothing. So far so good! Since I was successful with these 7 days, I'm going to try to do the .50 every other day and see how it goes.

[Pa...] Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 I'm thrilled to hear you're doing so well, its rare we hear good news around here! Something to keep in mind, it can take up to two weeks to feel the full effects of withdrawal from Klonopin due to its long half life. I want to caution you about taking it every other day, this could create a see-saw effect which your brain may not like. Our brains crave consistency, so it would be more beneficial if you're intent on this rapid taper to cut that .50 in half and take .25 each day instead. What do you think?

[Mi...] Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Pamster, I did think about that, but thought the .50 every other day would work better, but I can completely understand your perspective, and that my way may make things worse. I may just start the .25 tomorrow. I'll keep you updated! Thanks for your support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
