DRY CUT ADVICE

[[Buddie]]

Would like to dry cut down from 0.125 mg of Klonopin- should I crush and make into little tiny piles?
Also how should I decrease be- 10% cuts every week?
Advice needed.

What method were you using previously?

Breaking pills and decreasing by 1/2 doses of 1/4 th if I could manage with pill

People have done piles successfully. You don't seem to be terribly sensitive with as quickly as you were able to go for most of your taper. I'd probably get a cheap "GEM 20" or similar scale on Amazon and a nail file and weigh out tablet pieces. And you may be able to handle that speed as well given your track record. You just couldn't handle the 50% cut from .125 to .0625, which is understandable. Just pay attention to your symptoms. The recommendation here is always no more than 10% every 10 to 14 days. The BIC recommendation is no more than 10% per month, but, again, you can likely go faster. Just pay attention to your body like you have been doing already.

My doctor is doing dry cuts with me.  I went from 2mg to 1.5 mg. It wasn't too bad. I did have side effects, but they weren't extreme.
I stayed at that does for 3 months.
He recently reduced my dose to 1mg. I was like I don't think so dude.  I had enough klonopin to play with, so I'm taking 1.25mg instead.
this cut hasn't been fun. I have severe nausea and GI issues. Plus, a lot of fatigue.
I'm thinking of trying to do the ashton method. I need to learn more about it. My doctor acts as if he's never heard of it before.  I know he has.
I can't stand the guy. Looking for a new doctor, but really hard to find one here.
Good luck with yours.

Bob7's method is quite helpful if you want to dry cut. It is micro tapering though. https://benzodrytapermath.com/

The GEM 20 scale- how would that be helpful? these scales only calibrate to 0.001 grams and my 0.125 mg klonopin. weighs less than this. I am so confused how I can accurately weigh pieces this small?

I want to do dry cutting for sure, like I said, Just need a scale that weighs pills at this weight?

I have just purchased the scales and a pill cutter.  I plan to cut small bits off and weigh the larger part of the pill.  I am going to be tapering from 10mg of Diazepam to 9.25mg for 2 weeks then see how I feel.  Then all being well 8.75 mg and just keep going in small increments.  You can get a weighing scale on your smart phone.

I am really nervous about tapering.  I wish you luck.

I think you’re a little confused, Hilly.

If you reduced your current dose 0.125 by 0.001, then your new dose would be 0.124, so basically you could keep reducing like that until you get all the way down to the 0.001 which the scales weigh all the way down to. Does this make sense to you?
