Trying to figure out what to do

[[wa...]]

I've been on clonazepam for 6 months and tried to cut the dose in half and it was bad.  I read the Ashton manual and it says to substitute my 5 clonazepam for 10 valium.  I'm wondering if anyone did it with good results.  I'm really scared of the situation I'm in that I wasn't in 6 months ago!

I am early in the process of K to V transfer. I am curious how it will go.

 

I found direct taper off K to be difficult. I wish you luck should you crossover and take it slow. It seems to be the best method, although I can't vouch personally for the process

Thank you.  I'm going to try the titration but I don't even know where to start.  I'm sure I'll figure it out.

You don't have to switch from K to V - K has a long half life plus switching can be tricky for people.

I would probably direct taper from K if it came in smaller pills. The only way to do it with 5-10 Percent cuts is with a highly sensitive scale and water titration. It is undeniably easier from the dose control standpoint to use V. The down side of course is entering unchartered territories with a crossover, although most people seem to crossover successfully w/o much w/d if they take it slow (this is what I have derived from reading this forum)
