Reinstate

[[...]]

Was forced by hospital to discontinue at .08 mg after tapering for six months. I discontinued about 40 days ago.  Going through acute withdraws. I have been getting great help from Libertas but am looking for more opinions. Libertas thinks it may be best to reinstate. Im so sick of this klonopin crap I hate to give up. I know how to micro taper. Any opinions appreciated.

@[...] Might I add a clarification?  I did not say it would be best to reinstate.  I said it was worth consideration under certain conditions.

Understood.  Its a big decision i am facing.

Given that you’re looking for a variety of opinions on this topic, might I suggest that you post your question on this forum:

Benzodiazepine Withdrawal, Use & Recovery

It gets more traffic than our Tapering Strategies forum.

For example, here’s a currently active thread on this topic:

To reinstate or not

When reading responses, I find it helpful to learn a bit about the poster’s tapering and med use history, including the length of time between cessation and reinstatement.

Maybe im overthinking this.   Ugh.  Just not sure which way to go. I imagine i will still suffer even reinstating, maybe not just as much. I respect your opinion just wanted to know what a few others thought.

It’s AOK to seek opinions from others, @[...]. Just try not to fall into the trap of paralysis by analysis.  More often than we’d like, we just have to go with what our gut is telling us.  

Fyi I quit cold turkey after both my PCP and pharmacist told me  “You’re on a baby dose. You can just quit.”  All heck broke loose. I was suffering horribly and non-functional.  I reinstated after about 3 weeks. Reinstating was the right decision … for me.
