Klonpin from 1 mg/day to .5

I have been taking k pin for 7 years. went from 3 mg/day to 2 mg/ day then take as needed. I found some days that I didnt feel I needed any. then the next day I would get shakey and full of anxiety. I am with the help of this form down to .5 and going to hold there for a while feeling ok.

Mo,  As you, prior to tapering I took K on high dose, but prn and that's caused issues. Finally I starting holding at .5 mg K/day and it's better, however by no means is this comfortable.  Current christmas wish is to stabilize before moving forward.  Your taper from 3 mgK/day down to .5 mg is a big deal - congratulations 

 

How do you feel on .5 K/day ?

 

Going from 1 mg to to .5 is a little shakey I might goto .75 mg see how that feels.

mo,  your suggesting a cut of 25%. IMHO ....I'd only cut 5 or 10% from 1 mg K, wait 10-14 days and see how that particular cut went.  With K, I don't feel the w/d effects until a few days later.  Just trying to help.

 

 

 

 

Thank you I holding at .75 mg for now.

Finally took the jump from .75 mg k pin to .5 .25 in the am and .25 before bed. feeling pretty good spinning class is helping .I have more energy and starting to live a life worth living. :)

Your tapering according to your comfort level and good for you.  As you are aware, exercise is one key.  I'm glad your feeling alright.

when I got down to my last 0.5mg I began to use the liquid titration method. It linear and no drops, every day is a small taper down...I think its the only way to go.

 

Congrats and keep the faith. It will be hard, very hard but the end is worth it. I am 8 months out and much better...never go back, NEVER
