[Be...] Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Hello, I posted in my introduction and was told I was tapering to fast. I had been on Temazepam from October 2018 til Feb 18, 2019. My doc switched me to Klonopin I believe to get me off if Temazepam. I took 3/4 of a 1 mg tablet for about 4 weeks and we both agreed I could start to taper. I never wanted to be on a benzo but I had severe untouchable insomnia. Doc had me start to taper .125 a week. I was going along ok until I got to the reduction a little under .5mgs.Should I reinstate to .5 mgs and taper at 5% every 2 weeks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Ma...] Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The real problems for me also started when I went below 0.5 mg Klonopin. It's time to slow down the taper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Fo...] Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The more posts I read the more I think 5% every 2 weeks is best towards the end as Maugham says. #####Slow down it’s all healing. At higher doses ten percent a week is ok but you get benzo belly etc as I am finding out! Dickie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
