I am a 43 year old RN who has been taking Klonazapam 2-3mg every night to stop the racing thoughts.  I have recently seen a psychiatrist who instead wants me to increase my Cymbalta that I started taking 3 years ago for chronic back pain.  I started the Klonazapam at the same time.  I have a back injury that causes chronic pain.  So I am increasing the Cymbalta and will start tapering off the klonazapam next week.  I would like the schedule that you talked about on how to taper.  I have 1mg pills, I will be getting a 100ml beaker and have 5 and 10 cc syringes.  I want to not have any symptoms as I do not have any now.  Although I am always tired and achy.  I am hoping that by stopping the klonazapam I will start feeling more energy.  And stop getting sick all the time.

Hello johanna, Welcome.

 

We can help you with a taper schedule, but even if you use titration, there is a possibility you might suffer withdrawal symptoms.  If you're not feeling them now and you've been on the drug for 3 years, you could be one of those people who can get off these drugs without any problem, we hear some people can. 

 

Have you ever tried cutting your dose a little to see if you felt uncomfortable?
