Hello,
I took Klonopin for seizures which wasn’t effective and successful symptom free taper off of it many years ago.
I asked you about your taper schedule only because doctors often decrease the dose faster than many patients can tolerate and many end up having withdrawl symptoms.
Have you been suffering any unpleasant withdrawl symptoms?

Hi, Jake. Thank you for your post. I've been in a medication nightmare for a couple years. Everything was fine for years, but one pee test 2 years ago didn't register the Klonopin I was taking, 1 mg 3 x daily. My primary care doc freaked out & refused to prescribe it. I went thru 2-3 weeks of awful withdrawal & haven't felt good ever since. It's very important for anyone to reduce the dosage very slowly.
