Should I switch to 4 equal doses
« on: October 17, 2019, 11:22:48 pm »
I am currently implementing a milk micro-taper for my fiancee. We are at 1.18 mg of Klonopin with the following dosing schedule:
10:30 pm 0.59 mg
10:30 am 0.295 mg
4:30 am   0.295 mg

The problem is that by early morning she is in excruciating pain; my thought was to divide the night dose in half : 0.295 at 12 midnight followed by 0.295 @ 6 am and then move the remaining day doses to 12 noon and 6 pm.
Some feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Yes, it should help with inter dose withdrawal.

One other suggestion, slow down the taper rate. You've tapered her dose by more than half in 6 - 7 months. It's too fast, as evident in her condition from your intro post.

Thanks for your advice. Yes, we have slowed down the taper ~0.3% per day
