@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?

@daveshaw It makes me wonder, too, if it’s worth the effort to taper off something when we might need the extra mental help. It might die if something else. Saw a DO today, very holistic, who said my low dose of Lorazepam is okay - helps my anxiety & sleeping.
