John, I am tapering slowly off a benzo from 4 a day to now 1/2 daily. I called the prescriber and told him that I was having abdominal pain. He told me that this was not ! from decreasing the dosage. It was my former GI problem.
(My gastroenterologist warned me that ab pain may happen if I titrated too quickly from Clonazapam .)

The “prescriber” said this was not true! The pain was caused by GI (gluten) pain. ( I learned that I was allergic to wheat (celiac disease) and this wonderful young gastroenterologist diagnosed it and I have a gluten free diet ... no pain..UNTIL this titration from Clon.
I have no GI problems, except the cramping caused by decreasing the Clonazapam.

Harumph! Who said life would be easy.
My GI’s secretary called unexpectedly two weeks ago. She is scheduling an annual follow up appointments with her patients. God bless her.
Never give up!
He always sends an 😇
