Klonopin taper

[[St...]]

Hi. I’ve been on .5 daily for two years for anxiety. What’s the best way to taper ?

Hello @[St...],welcome to BenzoBuddies,

We’ll typically suggest reducing your dose by about 5-10% every couple of weeks but using your symptoms to guide your taper seems to work the best.  Have you noticed odd symptoms when you miss a dose or have you found yourself needing more to achieve the same effect?  I’m just trying to ascertain if your body has grown dependent on the Klonopin.

Not everyone who attempts to taper from these medications will have the same difficulty as those of us here, so I’m hoping you’re one of the lucky ones.
