[Gi...] Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 Hey there! Looking for some shared experiences and hope from you guys. I’m in hospital doing the final taper off my clonazapam. I was on it for 3 years, and have had two inpatient stays at a rehab facility to get from 2mg of clonazapam down to 0.25mg. This time I’m in a psychiatric hospital, under a psychiatrist who is not all that familiar with benzo withdrawals. I’m wondering if anyone has experienced stopping from 0.25mg? I thought this would be the easiest bit, but I honestly feel like I’m dying. I’ve been experiencing wicked anxiety, agitation, insomnia, restlessness, gastro upset, headaches, dizziness, stiff muscles, shakiness, poor coordination and visual hallucinations. The nurses/doctor are aware and I’m being monitored closely with all the needed support…I guess I’m just looking for some hope and reassurance that I will be okay and get through this? Thanks!

[Co...] Posted July 19, 2022 Share Posted July 19, 2022 I'm sorry you are suffering. I had the same experience. I didn't have many symptoms until this last little bit of klonopin. Hopefully your doctor will allow you taper slow. I'm doing a 10% reduction at a time. If I get symptoms I hold. Before this past .25 I was making 50% cuts which I don't recommend!
