My plan. Any advice?

Hi all.

 

I've been on Klonopin since about May 2011. Most of that time I was taking 1mg twice daily but since December after much effort I got myself down to 1mg a day.cMy plan is pretty much to drop my dose by 0.25mg every two weeks.

 

So it would look like this:

 

February 16th to March 2nd: 1mg

March 3rd to March 17th: 0.75mg

March 18th to April 1st: 0.50mg

April 2nd to April 16th: 0.25mg

April 17th: 0

 

Any advice about this?

That is a super fast taper.  Recommended rate 5-10% every 10-14days. May want to re-consider

My doctor forced me to do a fast taper almost exactly like yours,  off of (.5 klonopin), and I about went insane.  It was WAY to fast!  I had over a year of symptoms where I could barely leave the house.  I just hit 2 years off, and still struggle with anxiety, which I never had before Klonopin.  I would definitely slow it down.

Very aggressive IMO. I think I would possibly do a liquid micro taper and reduce a small amount each day.

April 2nd to April 16th: 0.25mg

Thanks for the advice. Can you or anyone here recommend a scale to measure? Seems it would be a bit hard to do by eye.

Many folks use a Gram Scale

Thanks. I'm new to all this and know NOTHING about scales.
