Hello,
I visited my pdoc the other day and he agreed to do a taper off of klonopin but doesn't agree with the Ashton method. He said I need to get on an SSRI first and then start the taper of klonopin. He wants to put me on Zoloft. Well, I had already started the taper a week ago and I don't want to go back to my previous dose despite the withdrawal symptoms which are literally hell at times. (Constant anxiety). Has anyone had a pdoc put them on an SSRI to taper?
Also, if I could convince my pdoc of the Ashton taper (which is unlikely), does switching from klon to valium help withdrawal symptoms? (I am no longer responding to klon at all, even at my previous dose).
Thanks!
