@jakedduck1 I've been taking a low dose of 1mg at bedtime, with the option of taking a second one if needed for anxiety, since 2006. It was originally prescribed for anxiety disorder, but I found that it calms my legs so I don't act out my kicking dreams. My wife doesn't like how many meds I take, but this is one she doesn't complain about.

So, it serves a double purpose.

I tried to taper off it a few years ago but I couldn't sleep, so I think it will be a lifelong medication, which is okay with me.

Hi Jim,
If you ever decide to discontinue your Klonopin do it slow I mean really Slllloooooooooooowwww
I took almost the max dose of the junk which is 20mg. I took 18mg for Seizures. It never phased them. It was the most difficult drug to get off of.
I hope it works well for you. Remember, we’re talking slow here and not just slow but very slow, slower than molasses in December, Extremely slow, excruciatingly slow, Imperceptibly slow. I hope you you understand I hope you understand I’m talkining about stopping slowly.
Good luck,
Jake
