Taper # 4

I cut 10% of my clonazepam two nights ago.  So far, I feel good!  I’ve had very minor symptoms.  It’s only day 2, and it usually takes up to 4 days for that to kick in.  But by then, I am far enough along to have a foothold on my determination.  There was some hot cold flashes, some shaking, some chest tightness.  It was quite minimal.  I breathed 4 7 8 method and it calmed.  I slept well.  My days have been symptom free! 

 

My previous cuts were bigger.  I def struggled more then.  If this 10 % continues so well, I’ll do it again at the 2 week point. 

 

I’m excited!  I’m down to .112 mg clonazepam.  I’m going to be free if this by summer!!

Thank you for sharing your good news update, Healing64! Libertas

You sound so confident, but you're a pro at this by now so you pretty much know what to expect.  I love that you have a summer goal, and that your days aren't horrible.  You've made such great progress, I look forward to your freedom! 

Thanks!  I’m confident that I will break the benzo hold.  I know that’s it’s not free sailing.  I am grateful for all the good days. 

Attitude isn’t everything in this, but it sure helps. You’ve got this.
