@divinewisdom28, I moved your question about Klonopin to this existing discussion that @rlk started here:

I did this so you can read the previous posts and easily connect with other members like @scoutngem @frances007 @sears @cdcc @mattie @jimhd and others.

You ask specifically "Is taking .25mg of Klonopin every other day safe?" I think that is a good question to ask your prescribing doctor, especially since you appear to be having rebound anxiety withdrawal. It sounds like you may be cutting too many things at once. I'm not a medical professional, but I would think that taking the medication every other day would not reduce your dependence on it. It is still being taken regularly.

Have you talked to your prescribing doctor about your goal to be less dependent on the medications you're taking? A pharmacist can also be helpful in answering questions.

I dont remember ever asking that because I take 50 mg daily and have for about 10 years. Than God it is available
