[...] Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Hello all, I'm in my first week of crossing over to Klonopin from Xanax. I was taking Xanax (.50) as needed and had unsuccessful dry cut taper. I'm now stabilizing with Klonopin at a .50/day dose. I have Titration taper plan setup, but it was advised that I stabilize on the Klonopin dose for a two week period before tapering. During this period I would like to acquire the nesscessary tools to begin the taper upon stabilization. I was recommended to use BD syringes (5ml, 10ml, 60ml) to cut. Does it matter if the syringes are sterile or non-sterile? Is the clean out maintenance as simple as running warm water through the syringes? Thanks for taking the time to include your input. Much appreciated. - kMx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Be...] Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 kMx, I just used water to rinse my syringes and that worked fine. I reused the same syringe each day. Over the course of my taper I replaced one syringe because the measurement markings on the side wore off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[...] Posted October 21, 2015 Author Share Posted October 21, 2015 Thanks for the reply Ben. I just want to confirm, sterile/non-sterile doesn't matter? Congrats on your successful taper. I hope to accomplished the same objective and be in your position in the near (non rushed) future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely ever actually pulled the plunger out of any of them. You can extend the life of the markings o the barrel by covering them with cellophane ("Scotch") tape.
