I am currently taking 1mg of klonopin each night for leg jerks. I want to wean off and supplement with magnesium and essential oils. Have read some of the suggestions for a slow taper. My question is about logistics. I can cut my 1mg tablet in half but the tablet is already so small, I’m not sure I can cut it into fourths or more. The suggested taper is 10% every 1 to 2 weeks. How do you get 10% of a tablet this small?

My first choice would be a compounding pharmacy.
Also crush the medication and weigh it. A pharmacy may help you measure it.

@bk63 I use Clonazepam. Much easier to cut or taper. I started with 1.5mg in November 2018 and slowly shaved off 10% every 2 weeks. I am down to using a .50 pill which cuts in half very nicely. So I used the half pill which is .25. And I am slowly cutting little pieces off. It is working great! No withdrawals at all. Just a little hard to fall asleep. I hope all of you are doing good. Don’t give up. And thanks for all your tips. The melatonin helps me and drinking lots of water. I’m going to get some zinc and magnesium to take also.
