Just started my crossover

[[Buddie]]

I wish you nothing but the best. I am on clonazapam, and when i started my doc tried to switch me over to valium and i got so sick...but i believe many of here have done what you are doing with good success. Make sure you keep us posted hun.

Do you have any Klonopin left, if you do I'd sure use it to make the cross.

[[Buddie]]

Yes I have some but I don’t want to mix.

Below is the schedule that I came up with.

Any suggestions or changes I should make?


Day 0
AM - 0.5mg K
NIGHT - 0.5mg K

Day 1
AM - 0.25mg K
MID - 0.25mg K
NIGHT - 10mg of V

Hold for 3 days

Day 4
AM - 5mg of V
MID - 0.25mg K
NIGHT - 10mg of V


Hold for 3 days

Day 7
AM - 5mg of V
NIGHT - 15mg of V


Hold for 3 weeks

It looks like you're going to mix it a little bit on days 1-7.

From what I read it can take up to a month for the Valium to reach full potency and you're going to discontinue your Klonopin in 7 days, this could leave you without full coverage.  I hope you'll keep us posted on your progress this will be a learning experience for all of us.

Do you have any better schedules that you can think of? I’m trying to do a schedule without mixing.

Any help or input would be greatly appreciated.

Mixing is the whole point of a slow crossover, its to make the transition back to Valium less painful.

If you have enough Klonopin, I'd take more time to give the Valium a chance to work before you take away the Klonopin, it could really hurt if the Valium hasn't taken effect yet.

You could certainly start with this schedule but if you hurt, I'd be ready to slow things down.

Yeah but that’s the dilemma.  How do you cross if your doctor doesn’t help?

Finding a doctor that goes with this is not easy and I need to start soon.

I can see your dilemma, why do you need to start soon?
