Dropping 4 mgs of klonopin (1month)


1998

Recommended Posts

My Doc is taking me off of 4mg of klono after 13yrs. I have 1month to do it. Is there any way this is possible w/o me going crazy or possibly worse like seizures ect..

I will not be going inpatient I'll be doing this from hm. and even though I'm not suicidal I'm scared I'll lose my mind..Responses would be greatly appreciated thx all!!

That is madness! The weaning process from such a dose should be much longer - possibly a year.

If your doctor doesn't understand this you may have to get a new one.

I am not allowed to recommend illegal actions, but in your situation I would definitely stockpile some benzos. You do not want to be cut off and risk protracted withdrawal symptoms!

I've been taking morphine (i hate opiates btw) just so I don't lose it. My heart is beating very fast and I always have a headache. I know a doctor that will help me out because she also said this is insane. I'm going there in two days, my friend saw how sick i was and gave me his own rx of 20, 15mg morphine pills so I don't feel so aweful. It's still hard to type I'm so weak and sick and yes I'm scared of protracted wd syndrome. K I have no more energy left to type I have to lay badck down, hope you're all doing well...thx for the replies!!! It's always great to know I have peeps that understand, my wife thinks I'm being dramatic :(

Thx for asking! Always good to talk....

I dropped from 4 to 3mg and it's taken me a while to adjust (thats why I never replied was to sick to do anything). I'm finally feeling stronger w/o so much anxiety, more clear headed and sleeping through the whole night. 

I found a doctor who's going to taper me. She said it will take around a yr. to get to zero. Thank GOD I found somebody willing to help me, I've fealt like I was on my death bed especially the first 3 weeks.

I'm going to start dropping .25mg every two weeks and hopefully that will be a smoother transition. Wish me luck take care all, thx again StateOfRegret hope your doing well....
