Anyone here have any experience weaning of Klonopin (or any benzo)? I was on .25 mg 3 times a day for 2 weeks. I made the mistake of coming off on my own...too fast. Pure hell for 3 days. My Dr. told me to go back on, and another Dr. will set me up with a schedule. You must come off them SLOWLY. EVEN FROM A LOW DOSE LIKE MINE.

I know it’s a small dose, but I’m still afraid.

Hi, @doorman - wanted to let you know I moved your post to this existing discussion on tapering off clonazepam (Klonopin) so that you can talk with others discussing this topic.

Hoping that @meka @johnhans @1mountaingirl86 @jakedduck1 @amy10 and others will have some thoughts for you on coming off clonazepam (Klonopin) too fast and experiencing side effects.

What prompted you to decide to go off this medication, doorman?
