Help Getting Off of Klonopin
I have been on Klonopin for 25 years at 2mg per day and want to get off of this horrible medication. My GP here doesn't know how to help me and since I live in a small town we don't have any therapists that would be able to help me as well. I do not wish to go to a rehab center and need support through what I am going to be going through over the next year.

Thank you!!! I will check the videos out.
Because everything in my life is centered around it right down to certain meds that I needed in the hospital after surgery and I keep trying to taper and I can't, I have been on it way too long. I am soo frustrated and want this drug out of my life.
I don't used Facebook anymore. I might have to re-join. Thanks for the tip,
All of the Benzos come in liquid form that can be prescribed by your doctor and gotten at any pharmacy. It comes in a bottle with a dropper. I used the liquid (Valium) at the end of my taper. I used it to pull up 1/2 mg. and lower. I used the pills and broke them in half until I got to that point. Valium comes in 2 mg. tablets so they were easy to break up.
Most doctors prefer you switch over to Valium for tapering due to its long half life. Stays in your system longer, no inter dose withdrawal, etc. If you’d like more info please message me anytime. Others may not be interested and I don’t want to take over this thread. I’m sorry but don’t have any links to share. I promise it’s very simple. There’s no way I could have done anything complicated at that point in my life. 25 years is way, way too long to take any benzo. I was horribly addicted.
I'm interested. Please keep sharing. This is helpful for me.
I'm at the 25 year mark with Klonopin.
Were you on benzos for 25 years?
Yes. Xanax.
I’d be happy to answer any questions you may. Please message me.
Thank you!!!
