Clonazepam free after 23 years!!

[[sl...]]

I finally did it!  I've been off since July 31st.  I think the key to success has been my taper.  I would always try quitting in the past, but I would cut too much at once.  For the most part my withdrawal has been very smooth.  It can be done.

Great work. I went way to fast after 18 years on clonazepan. This post gives me hope. I don’t know whether to restart my taper or just continue holding where I’m at. Great work it has to be freeing to be off!

Happy for you!  Now, go enjoy a wonderful, healthy life!!!

I would hold until you're ready.  When I set a timeline I failed.  Just go slow and you will be okay.

Well done! How fast was your taper? Mine’s super slow and I’m thinking about speeding it up a little

That's so encouraging, I'm going slow as well!  4-5% a month, slug speed!  So happy for you and thank you so much for sharing it with us, Denise PS yes, it can be done, can't agree more!!

Bravo! Way to go!  I'm glad the withdrawal has gone very smoothly for you.

Congratulations!  Thank you for sharing this!

at 14 months now CT, I so strongly urge folks to taper!!! Seems like CT is a worse withdrawal. I feel much better, but sleep is still quite difficult and I get angry very quickly. Coming here has helped tremendously. Thank you all for sharing!

It was a 3 month taper off of .25 mg. Throughout the the 23 years I took anywhere from .25 mg to 1 mg daily.  The last 5 years I was at .25 mg.  I took off .001 grams (tablet weight) per day until it was gone.

Congratulations!!

I'm also doing a direct weighted tappering from 4mg of Clonazepan.

Right now at 0.5 mg, y was wondering how to do the final phase.

Wauw congratulations.

I'am still at the beginning of my reduction. November the 15 i have an appointment wilth my doctor. Your method really appealed to me. I have to reduce from 0.5 mg Clonazepam. Of course without making me feel terribly bad. Can you tell me please how you exactly reduce? 

Sorry for my English, i'am from the Netherlands and full sentences are difficult.

Keep going, but very slowly, no more than 5% each cut, and then leave 1 to 2 weeks until you feel stable.
