I am 74 and have been taking Klonopin for over 30 years. I take 1mg in the morning and 1mg in the evening.
I have talked to my PCP and she has told me because I am very active and have no balance issues and I have never increased my dosage she sees no reason for me to get off it.
I also take Zoloft, Bupropion and Buspar. Obviously I am retired and cut my Zoloft back from 100 mg daily to 50mg with no side effects at all.
I tried to taper to .5 mg in the morning and .5 mg in the evening. That appeared to be way too fast.
I welcome any suggestions from people that have successfully tapered off clonazepam or any other benzo. I am assuming they are all as difficult to taper off of.
Are there any drugs that you can take to make the tapering process easier?
I welcome any thoughts and suggestions because I value opinions that are posted on this site. Anything to make the tapering process easier would be welcomed.
I look forward to hearing from anyone out there.
