introduction

[Guest [ok...]]

I was prescribed 1 mg Klonopin for 6 years and became involuntarily dependent on it.  I only raised my dose to 1.5 mg. in all that time.  I had a lot of problems that I came to realize were caused by tolerance w/d, so I tried a direct taper and failed.  Then I learned of the Ashton Manual, got my psychiatrist to give me Valium, and subsequently completed a 10-month taper in July of 2011. 

 

I am 8 and a half months off, still having some w/d symptoms and need support.

okfornow, Hi

 

Congratulations on getting through your taper.. That is some achievement....!!

 

I'm sorry though that you are still having problems.. It does take time..I'm hoping that you get some improvements soon.. It is just a hang in there situation.. There will be good support here and you will find quite a few people who are off, but still quite symptomatic...I'm sure you will quickly feel supported here.. People are very welcoming and friendly..

 

Good luck.
