Clonazepam taper advice


Recommended Posts

[Su...]

Several months ago I was dealing with insomnia. My doctor first put me on 10MG Lexapro and then 1MG Clonazepam. I was on the Clonazepam for a few months and then got off of it and went to Hydroxyzine with no problems. Fast forward a few months the Hydroxyzine stopped working and instead of me finding natural ways to fix my sleep issues I went back to my doctor. He put me back on Clonazepam and I had forgotten that I had been on it before. Well after getting back on it, my brain obviously developed a tolerance and wasn’t helping me sleep. Now I’m trying to get off of it. In the meantime I’m on Trazodone as well. Since January I’ve suffered through sleep, stomach issues and weight loss. My question to anyone is while going through the taper process that I started back up. Will the stomach and anxiety issues calm down after a few weeks or month after each taper or will these sensations be with me all through the process. I’m trying to cut 1/8 dose every 3 or 4 weeks is my goal. I was on 100 MG trazodone but felt it was making my eyes hurt and didn’t really make me sleep through the night. So now I’m on 50MG and some melatonin.
