Anyone had issues while tapering off of 1mg clonazepam (Klonopin)?

Wow, That must of been excruciating coming off 18mg,I have known people that compilated suicide over a severe Benzo detox
The buzzing and side effects in your head is enough to drive one mad,from a Benzo detox
Good Luck to all

No, not at all. I did it over 2 to 2 plus years. Slowly is the key, at least for me. Some people take these medication's for many years or decades and then when they decide they want off they want off quickly. One lady here stopped another medication cold turkey after 30 years and she had a stroke.
Take care,

Go verrrrry slowly (.125 mg every couple months) and you will do fine.

I was tapered off by ¼ very two weeks. Had been on one mg for 20 years due to GAD & insomnia. Doc added abilify as I was tapering. I ultimately wound up in a full blown panic attack that lasted a couple of weeks until my primary added ½ mg klonipin back. In the meantime, I found a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with panic disorder and severe anxiety, etc., and promptly put me right back on the one mg and advised me not to take abilify, which I had already stopped when the panic became so terrible. Finally, the panic abated. It was the worst experience of my life! I was terrified of my own 5 lb pups that I had for eight years. I was so jumpy! Couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t drive. It was horrendous. This was not my first experience being messed up by a doc’s prescription, but it was certainly worse than the first time! I’ve personally found private psychiatrist to be superior to PCP’s or community MH centers.
