@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.

You may have to cut off smaller pieces the closer you get to zero.

Hi fluffy,
I like your username. I don’t remember for sure how I did it at the end except I was taking tiny chips. If memory serves which is questionable I took smaller and smaller chips everyday. Don’t remember if I went every other day but I doubt it. Every other day might work though. So it should take between 1-2 days for half of it to be out of your system. It’s half life is 30-40 hours. I only remember taking Dilantin on an every other day basis and that was because it was at a toxic level. I took it for seizures and was on 18mg a day. 20mg is the maximum dose. I didn’t know about compounding pharmacies in the 80’s, I think it took me 2-3 years to stop it. Wish I was more helpful.
Take care,
Jake
