Hello Denise,
Of course everyone is different but if you are just starting your taper it's easier to taper a larger percentage. But chances are high as you continue at one quarter less my bet is you will be suffering withdrawal effects. If I were you I'd cut them into eighths. If you continue on the path your on and have any withdrawals increase it unti the withdrawal effects disappear and decrease your taper even more.
I tapered off Klonopin without any effects until my taper was almost over. I then chipped off smaller and smaller pieces that stopped the effects until I was off.
I was taking much more than you for seizures. My taper lasted over two years.
But what difference does it make how long it takes as long as your doing so safely, regularly and avoiding withdrawal symptoms.
I was glad to see your reductions are once a month.
Ideally using a compounding pharmacy and reducing by 5-10% so the percentage of medicine is consistent. The percentage when cutting pills changes month to month and can be significant.
Wishing you a withdrawal free taper,
Jake

Hi Jake, I had done this 2 summers ago and I think I went to fast, had to because my doctor was deciding for me, but now I'm deciding for me.

The 1/4 works very good, I just went a month with no ill effects, but I felt unsure going down to .5 so I'll stay another month at .75 mg and see how I feel at that point end of April.

What is a compounding pharmacy Jake? I'm guessing you mean can they give me .5 tablets, but the pharmacies here don't go lower than ,5 size. I need to get a pill-cutter, that's for sure.
