please help me taper down on Klonopin 2MG

Hi,

I need a taper plan. I take lexepro for anxiety and I also have panic disorder. I had to get on the Klonopin to calm me down. I've been taking Klonopin for 7 or 8 months now. 1MG in the morning and 1MG at night. I tried to reduce by taking off a quarter of a tablet. I did that for two days and had a panic attack yesterday and had to take an emergency Xanax.  I should tell you that I am already anxious about reducing it. I see my psychiatrist today and can ask her too, but would like to hear from others in the same boat!

Cutting off a quarter of a pill is a 25% decrease (assuming you cut a quarter off of each of your two doses).  That's a big reduction.  We generally advise cuts of no more than 10% and most people make smaller cuts than that.

Consider doing a daily micro taper.  You cut every day, but the cuts are very small (e.g. 0.5%).  Can be done in solid or liquid form.  Here's a link to that (very active) thread:  Micro-Tapering Group[/b]
