5 mg klonopin

Hi there, I have been on klonopin for 15 years, I was started on it at just 15 years old. I am up to 5mg/day still have anxiety and panic attacks but I want to get off of it or at least lower my dose as I do not feel it's ever really helped. Any advice/ help would be greatly appreciated!!

Hi Sky8490 and Welcome to Benzobuddies

 

We are very glad you joined our community. You are making a great decision in tapering off these drugs!    We can help you with support, encouragement and taper/withdrawal information.  In general it’s advised to cut your daily dose by somewhere between 5% and 10% every 10 - 14 days.  It’s okay to go slower than this, whatever feels comfortable, the aim is to try to keep symptoms manageable.

 

Check out the Ashton Manual, It’s great for understanding the effect benzodiazepines have on our body.  It also provides tapering and withdrawal information.  You will find some valuable support and info on the forum.  Please feel free to browse the boards and post questions to any of the dedicated threads.

 

You might wish to post to the this support group,
