final rate of klonopin taper?


Recommended Posts

[Er...]

I have gone from 0.5 mg to 0.15 in about 6 months. It's been more or less ok except for bad insomnia some nights.

For the remainder of the taper, I am wondering of 0.01 mg per week is a reasonable goal? This would give me about 4 months. We're moving at the end of the summer and I am afraid of not being able to find a Dr etc etc right away after that.

I realize that we are all different and that this may not be possible for me. I am just wanting to see if people think this rate seems at least logical for this stage. Thank you.

Erica, congratulations on getting to 0.15!   I'm sorry about your insomnia.     I would suggest that rather than make a schedule of .01 per week, that you do a more symptoms based taper.    For example, cut 0.01 and see how you are doing.   If after a week you are stable and feeling ok, then do another cut.    If you're not feeling great after a week, hold a bit longer until you are.     

I'm at about the same place as you, current at 0.128 of k.   I have been cutting .003 at a time and then see how I'm doing.    Usually after 3-5 days I cut another .003.   

You'll get there!  One day at a time.

Sounds like a good pace/starting point.  At some point I know I’m going to need to go linear too.  I’m at .33 right now. I would say once you get to .025 doing that you can jump.

Hi everyone how do you measure and tackle these smaller measurements with liquid if you don't mind me asking. 

 

I'm Tapering from 0.5mg clonazepam with liquid. 0.5mg = 0.5ml.

 

10% of current dose the numbera start getting small. Like cutting 0.003 how do you do it. Do I need to water down the clonazepam. 

I've got the clonazepam thame liquid from doctors but they don't seem. To know anything about micro taper. 

 

I've been given a taper of 0.1 every 2 weeks. So just straight 20% cut. Not of current dose. I started two. Days ago and felt absolutely awful today. So started doing some research. ( first had me do a 50% cut on alternate days and it really. Messed me up) 

 So any help. Appreciated and sorry to. Jump. On I just can't find the info
