Tapering off clonazepam (Klonopin, Rivotril)

So I have a question about taking a dose of clonozaoam or Klonopin during a taper. How do you feel when you take it? Does it provide you any relief from your discomfort? I dont have any craving to take it, but when I do take it, it makes me terribly sick to my stomach with burning pains in my gut. I get terribly ill and it will cause me to become nauseous and often develop migraine headaches. I can feel ok before I take it and then I feel awful after. My taper is very slow with micro cuts of.0048mg usually weekly. I’m currently working to get off 2daytime doses morning and afternoon doses of .17mg. In addition to feeling sick I feel stoned for 2-3 hours after these .17mg doses. I wait 3-4 hours before driving and only if I have to. I have no appetite most of the time and force myself to eat, which I think is pretty common. I’m just wondering how others feel when they take a dose and if it is normal to feel fine before a dose and then go to feeling like crap after a dose. My dr says it’s a paradoxical reaction to the benzo. Just wondering how you all physically feel when you take a dose during your taper....any input is very much appreciated!
Hope, love and strength
Ann

I also experience mild chest pains (not always, probably 30% of the time when I take it.) Also throat pain/ burning after swallowing a dose.
