Clonazepam withdrawal

Hello,

I start to taper with clonazepam 2 years ago.

I first quit cold turkey but I needed to start again to taper safely.

Now I use 0,10 mg clonazepam.

I still have withdrawals symptoms , insomnia, brain fog , weakness,...

Was looking for more information

Thanks

Hi Dobb.  Welcome to BB  .

 

Do you mean just .1 mg clonazepam?  Less than 1/4 of a .5?  How have you measured your dose down this low accurately?

 

Your symptoms are quite typical for withdrawal.  Your dose is getting down there, but still too high to stop.  The lower doses can be more challenging than the higher dose reductions.  At this point, you may want to reduce less than you are used to.

 

5 to 10% each reduction with a hold of up to 2 weeks is suggested.

 

 

In my country we have : 2,5 mg / 0,5 mg and we have it in liquid , so 1 drop = 0,1 mg

I am on this dose for a couple months now , I always had this symptoms , for over 2 years now , it’s just a little less intense right now but it’s still heavy to function like a normal person. It feels like it will not go away , I don’t know how it feels to feel normal anymore.

Or do you mean something else? Not sure

Thanks for clarifying your dose, I'm glad to see you have the liquid to taper from, it allows you to make smaller reductions.  We understand how difficult this process is but recovery is possible.  Feel free to look around the forum, you'll find many who feel like you do.

Have you considered diluting your prescription liquid so you can make smaller reductions in dose?
