Plan for taper


[Gr...]

Recommended Posts

I just wanted to write this out and see how long it will take, if I cut .005mgs, every four days.  I'm putting a .5mg tablet of Klonopin in 100ml of milk.  So 1ml = .005mg. 

 

Start at .100mg  20ml. 

2/1  19ml

2/5 18 ml

2/9 17 ml

2/13 16 ml

2/17 15 ml

2/21  14 ml

2/25 13 ml

2/29 12 ml

3/2  11 ml

3/7  10 ml

3/11 9 ml

3/15 8 ml

3/19 7 ml

3/23 6 ml

3/27 5 ml

3/31 4 ml

4/5 3 ml

4/9 2 ml

4/13 1 ml

I feel like that plan is excessively slow for getting off of .100mg.  I'm looking at Ashton's schedule, she say .5mg of klonopin is equal to 10mg diazepam.  https://www.benzo.org.uk/manual/bzsched.htm#s3

 

In her schedule, you go down from 10mg diazepam, 1 mg at a time, and hold for 1-2 weeks.  Well, I am at .100mg of klonopin, which is equivalent to 2mg of diazepam.  So, according to her schedule, I would cut .05mg two more times, with holds for 1-2 weeks, and be done in a month. 

 

Revising my micro-taper schedule to more closely match Ashton's suggestion, and to speed up this taper in general:

 

Start at .100mg  20ml. 

2/1  19ml

2/3 18 ml

2/5 17 ml

2/7 16 ml

2/9 15 ml

2/11  14 ml

2/13 13 ml

2/15 12 ml

2/19  10 ml

2/21 9 ml

2/23 8 ml

2/25 7 ml

2/27 6 ml

3/1 5 ml

3/2 4 ml

3/3 ml

3/5 2 ml

3/7 1 ml

Or, now that I am thinking about it, I may just go down using a true daily micro taper to .075, and hold week, and .005 and hold a week, and .025 and hold a week. Let's see what that would look like: 

 

Start at .100mg  20ml. 

2/1  19ml  .095mg

2/2 18 ml  .090mg

2/3 17 ml  .085mg

2/4 16 ml  .080mg

2/5 15 ml  .075mg

 

Hold. 1 -2 weeks

 

2/19  14ml  .070

2/20  13ml  .065mg

2/21 12 ml  .060mg

2/22  11ml  .055mg

2/23  10 ml  .050mg

 

Hold.  1-2 weeks

 

3/7  9 ml  .045mg

3/8  8 ml  .040mg

3/9  7 ml  .035mg

3/10 6 ml  .030mg

3/11 5 ml  .025mg

 

Hold? 1-2 weeks

 

3/25 4 ml  .020mg

3/26 3 ml  .015mg

3/27 2 ml  .010mg

3/28 1 ml  .005mg
