Klonipin taper advice

Hi @[...] just to chime in, I am on klonopin as well and I experience these jerks from time to time. I believe it to be pretty common from what I have read

They are preventing me from sleeping though. Because my anxiety gets so high about them. That’s my trouble.  😭

Yes they can be quite difficult. To be honest the lower I got in dose they went away. I get maybe 1-2 total per week at this point

Can I ask where you started and where you are now? How long were you on it and what was your taper plan like?

I hope your test will reveal something we can use to pinpoint what the problem is.  Have you ever been on any other antidepressants before?

I have, I was on Zoloft for 6 months when I had my first son at .25 and had no issues at all getting off. I hope the hormone testing shows something.

I was on 1mg for about 7-10 days, then .5mg for about 2-3 weeks. I have been tapering the past few months and I’m slightly above .125mg. I went quite slow, but I was still sorting through a lot of my anxiety issues. I went from .50 to .375 to .3125, then only reduced by about .03 per cut every 7-10 days on average

Oh wow! And how has the taper gone for you at that pace? I feel like I got to .375 fine, and when I went down to .25 is when this started. I’m going back to .375 for now, and .5 if I need to.

It’s had its up and downs. I think once you find a your sweet spot of cut rate/percent that takes the edge off a bit. I spent a lot of time (and still do a little) worrying about my taper, should I go slower, faster, etc.

How are you cutting may I ask? Like dry taper, compound pharmacy, etc?
