taper amounts

Hi everyone. I'm trying to decide between tapering down by 1 mg every other day (or more)vs 5 mg every two weeks. Ive seen suggestions for both. Any input is welcome.

I'm currently on .75 mg of Klonopin. Take it at bedtime. Thanks!

Hello Whitewillow,

I'm trying to understand your question.  Why would you taper 1mg every 2 weeks when you are only taking .75mg of klonopin?

Perhaps you could clarify this so we can give you the right information.

Your numbers don't make any sense.

I've read that an approximate taper rate should be 0.001mg/day or thereabouts if you want to be successful. However you may need to adjust that based on how you feel during the taper. If you start having bad withdrawal symptoms do even less a day. If you feel fine you may be able to increase it a bit, but I would stay around that number. Achieving that small daily number is probably easiest with a liquid taper.
