I don’t even want to taper anymore after these seizure posts!

I just made a cut today of 10 percent…. Then I click someone’s story that they had massive seizures with a 6. Something reduction… My only serious worry during taper is a seizure and this just literally set me back. I just want to be free of this crap and not worry about seizures!!! What the heck I’m in full panic now, I was trying to do this to heal and it just feels impossible!! I have people to live for, I have a family and a job…. If people are having seizures at a reduction of 6% why would I even try for 10!! I feel so stupid! And so terrified! I was reducing by 4.4 percent and I said maybe I’ll just do the next few cuts at 10 percent to get a little ahead as I never know when my doctors going to retire… we’ll I guess that was a mistake because I don’t know now… does anyone taper at 10% I don’t want to die from this please

Everybody is different 🙂

 

What happens to another person, doesn't have to happen to you.

 

I would stay away from the horror stories and just focus on your own symptoms. These symptoms are the ones you have to deal with.

 

Also, maybe it's best to start looking for a doctor who will prescribe the pills.

 

Best of luck 🙂

Do most people do fine with 10% reduction? I’m like so so worried because I am alone all day and I just want to know it’s not too much :/ I’ve been so scared

They advise 5-10% every two weeks in here, but that's just a general guideline.

 

I really think you should listen to your body and mind, see which reductions feel good. Let go of the percentages and the schedule a bit.

 

For instance, when your schedule says go down 10% (or 4.4%), and it's from 0,172 to 0.153 (just an example), you could also go to 0.160. And you don't need to know the percentages because you know with the schedules I gave you will still be in the safe 10% range (or 4.4%).

 

Hope this helps a bit.

There are also taperingstrips:

 

https://www.taperingstrip.com/download/clonazepam-rivotril/

 

It will costs you about 80 euro's a month.

 

You can taper with 0.1 mg without having to shave the tablets off.

 

When this goes too fast, you can decide too shave bits off the 0.1 tablets.

I feel crappy with this 10 percent cut already and I don’t know how that’s possible I just wish I good with numbers to at least have somewhat of an idea of what 5% would be because that’s what I would do..,. I didn’t even notice the 4.4 percent cut BUT it’s an odd number - I just wana make sure I’m doing it right, it looked like I cut a whole half out today almost once you’re in the swing of it it goes smoothly but I can not seem to get into it correctly I need to do 5% but as you’re aware my numbers are weird because of my 4.4 percent cut. Tomorrow I want to just do 5 percent from the whole dose and move on. That’s my sad little goal. I just can’t figure out the numbers even with the calculator soup tool.

I'll send you a 5% schedule.

You wouldn’t believe how helpful you truly are

Hello Jessica,
