Good morning and thanks. I wasn’t sure about which symptoms you were inquiring about. As for the neuropathy I’ve made up my mind that any amount of burning is quite tolerable compared with the withdrawal from this poison. As far as the withdrawal from tapering I am, in my opinion, is about normal. I know that many are saying that my tapering is too fast but I’m dealing with it in my own way. I’m down to 50mg at bedtime and 25mg in the morning. My withdrawal symptoms are mostly nausea, anxiety, itching and anorexia. All are controlled at present. I’m noticing a predictable pattern with every decrease so I’m able to anticipate in advance. I don’t think people need to nail down an exact duration of a taper. It all depends on the person. I’ve reached out and researched the supplements needed for healthy brain healing and have started those as well. Now it’s just a matter of time. Luckily I have a supportive husband who is a PA and I’m a retired RN so I feel like I’m in as much control of the situation as I can be. Thanks for all of your concern!

Can you tell me what supplements you are taking to help you with the withdrawal process please? I want to get off of Klonopin. I've been on it for many years. My pain management Doctor recently put me on Lyrica 6 days ago for severe restless leg syndrome and neuropathy. I too have burning feet, toes and fingers, but they come and go. I don't think I want to be on Lyrica anymore.
