I was taking almost the maximum dose of Klonopin (18mg for seizures.) The maximum dose is 20 mg.
I took a little over 2 years to discontinue it. The only withdrawal effects I had were very mild and only when I got to the end of my taper. To stop the effects I chipped off a tiny piece that stopped any withdrawal effects but tapering so slowly, at least for me prevented any uncomfortable effects.
Best of luck on your tape.
Take care,
Jake
Yes. Under my primary care provider and my neurologist. Begin in late summer of 2017. Completed in January 2018. No problems. I was afraid. I had a seizure risk from the withdrawal and a craniotomy done in 2014. I have never gone back to this class of drugs.
I have tapered off of Clonazepam, 2mg a day for 6 years and it took about 4 months to do it safely
