Week 2 decrease by .25 for 1 night, 1.75 next night, 1.5 for 2 nights, 1.75 1 night, 1.5 for the rest of the week
Week 3 decrease by .25 for 1 night, 1.5 next night, 1.25 for 2 nights, 1.5 for 1 night, 1.25 for the rest of the week
Week 4 decrease by .25 for 1 night, 1.25 next night, 1.5 for 1 night, 1.25 for the rest of the week
Week 5 decrease by .25 for 1 night, 1.0 next night, 1.25 for 1 night, .75 for the rest of the week
Week 6 decrease by .25 for 1 night, .75 next night, decrease by .25 the next night, .5 for the rest of the week
Week 7 decrease by .25 for 1 night, .5 next night, decrease by .25 the next night, .25 for the rest of the week
Week 8 decrease by .25 for 1 night (Nothing), .25 for 1 night, nothing thereafter
I tried many ways to get off this awful drug. This is the only way that worked for me.

Good luck! Ps your memory will improve when you get off!

I tried that but, couldn't make it past 1.5. I will try this again but, as of today I am forced to take 1.5mg for the next two weeks as I had a few days where I took an extra pill because of gastroparesis issues causing panic attacks. This is such a vicious circle. I don't normally run out of my klonopin for follow-up appointments. I hope that I can make it for 14 days dropping to 1.5mg. I feel ashamed of myself because I am not the one in control and this drug is in control.

Will I seize or die because I have to go two weeks with .5mg less?

I will try what you did...I just don't think that I am strong enough.

How long have you been free of Klonopin?
