Tapering off clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

My only concern for you is taking the extra 1 mg at night and then sleeping 10.5 hours. You need to be careful not to take so much that your respiration is decreased. Many deaths are the result of this cause. If you are taking other medications they may add a cumulative effect to your central nervous system slowing down. Be very careful and let your doctor know what you're doing.

I sleep with a cpap, so I breathe whether I want to or not. During this fiasco, I would have been pleased to stop breathing for good...I think I am close to transitioning and the extra clonazepam will not be an issue. Heck, after 25 years another 1mg has been earned. I have a friend whose wife is Ph.D psychologist, and she said take the pill. The lack of sleep is worse for you. And the beat goes on...
