Trying to beat Clonazepam and need help

Over the past 10-11 year's, I was prescribed (and was taking) as much as 6 mg of Clonazepam a day. I have tried to taper on my own and was able to get down to 4 mg a day on my own but was recently cut from 4mg to 0mg by the VA in less than a week. I have experience in trying to quit before and am familiar with the Ashton taper etc. but I know this is not going to be easy. I am here for support and willing to help in any way I can.

 

God Bless,

Taper Info:

Welcome friend. I can not believe they cut you from 4mgs of K to zero in less than a week. That is both dangerous and inhumane. They should allow all ppl who are hooked on this poison to taper as slowly as they need to as long as they are making progress decreasing and not increasing. I hope you found another prescribing source and are back on the klonopin so you can safely and slowly taper down to zero.
