Thank you. I think you have cut it into quarters.
I am not on Klonopin. I am on Ativan and have read that when you go below 3mgs a day (same as 1.5 mgs of Klonopin per day), you have to cut only by 5%. There seems to be no way to do this. The Ashton Manual (online free) is considered the worldwide Gold Standard on getting off benzodiazapines. She was a Psycho Pharmacologist. Anyway, she recommends changing over to Valium to do this. My doctor will not do this and I have no idea what to do now.

If it's a regular MD. who prescribed them and won't give you the valium I would make an appointment with a neurologist. That's what I ended up doing. They understand how your brain works.
