Klonopin taper

I have been on klonopin for 3 weeks..... .25mg am and .25 mg pm....I have decided I want to get off of it....my dr said I could just STOP or I could take half as much as now for a week and then stop....I am on my 3rd day of taking half as much and I am feeling I may do it for a bit longer than a week and then cut that in half before stopping....

any comments are welcomed.....

Re: Klonopin taper

yesterday I took 1/4 of a pill at 9am and another 1/4 at 5 pm......I seemed calm most of the day.....woke up at 1am and took 1/2 a pill and was awake and anxiuos the rest of the night....aparently I cannot take this in the middle of the night....

today I am going to try the 1/4 pill am ( just took it) and the 1/4 pill early evening.....

my goal is to taper off of it as soon as my body allows....

I am doing a lot of praying to help....

Re: Klonopin taper

I take 4mg at night - it is a long story why I take so much, but I can cut that in half with no side effects and I can also stop all together with out any affects that I know of and also I have been taking it that way for years- so with you, taking such a low dose for such a short time I truly believe that you can just stop without any harm at all.
