Hello benzojoe Welcome to Benzobuddies

 

We are glad you joined, you will get plenty of help and support here.  Tapering slow can help to minimize withdrawal effects.  It is generally recommended to taper no more than 5-10% every 10-14 days. This is a guideline and it is ok to adjust this schedule for your own comfort. Please post to any of the dedicated boards, ask questions for members to respond.

 

The Ashton Manual, is a great resource for understanding the effect benzo’s  have on our body.  It provides withdrawal information and includes a list of common symptoms 

 

I'll leave you a few links:

Welcome Joe, I am so glad you found the site as it's been so helpful to me.  I'm new as well, 2 weeks or so.  Been on clonazepam/klonopin for 35 years, and now I have the hope I can be off it for good
