@katnewton I did a taper for just under a year (klonopin). It was very hard for me emotionally and I had to work to get my anxiety under control Lots of exercise, yoga, acupuncture, meditation. That being said, now two years Benzo free, I see how much better I am than the decade of daily benzo. It is worth whatever you have to go through to get to your goal. Hang in there!

@con123 Kate what are water tapers. At 74 I don’t want to go through hell for two years. Vomiting, nausea, heart palpitations sounds horrific.
My PCP asks me why at my age with no health issues I want to stop. Reading about your responses makes me think she is right.
I applaud all your efforts but what if you get off Klonopin and then die from something else?
