@gunshy benzodiazepines should be banned in the USA. I have been tapering Klonopin for months. Right now I’m on .125 at 5:00 in the morning and 0.5 at 4:00 pm. The tapering is not small enough. The 0.5 is scored and can only be reduced by quarters. Still too much for tapering. I was at 1 mg at 4:00 pm but the doctor broke it is half ( 0.5).

My next taper will be the morning dose being completely taken away. It’s too much. It takes me 2 days to recover from the anxiety that crept up when switched from 1 mg to 0.5 wich I’m still on but I’m afraid that stopping the morning dose will increase my anxiety again.

I’m also on 125 mg of Seroquel at bedtime for sleep. Put them in my system and I am feeling over sedated. I stopped my Seroquel once due to a very low blood pressure and Seroquel lowers the BP.

Cardiologist said that I needed to go to the hospital and do not take the Seroquel as you could bottom out and not wake up!

This resulted in a major panic attack as I have GAD. I can’t stop the Seroquel and the taking away of my morning Klonopin will kill me but I’m at the lowest pill dose already. I’m messed up badly.
