So it took you 10 weeks to get off Klonopin?
When I get my next prescription should I get .5 mg tablets and then cut them in half? It looked like the first week was 5mg twice and .25 mg twice and slowly go down from there. Is that right.
Did this avoid any withdrawal symptoms? How much were you taking and for how long?
Let me know.
Thanks.

@daveshaw you’re misreading. Each change was two to three weeks. So about 6 months.
And I was on Ativan, another benzo like klonopin
