Andy, I noticed that you ARE probably in withdrawal already from you symptoms, plus you were forced to updose or reinstate after being off for almost 3 weeks. I do hope your doctor is willing to listen and let you guide the taper. BTW, 25% cut every other week or month is not slow, but it’s what most doctors are taught (for now). 5-10% a month off of your last dose is the recommended cut. You’ll probably want to get your Klonopin from a compound pharmacy. It makes things much easier. Otherwise, you need a jeweler’s scale, metal file and pill cutter. Direct Dry Cut and Hold is how some go, but it’s tedious. BTW, Ashton recommends switching over from short acting to long acting, but most find that doesn’t work and isn’t necessary. You can cut directly from Klonopin. And 1.5 mg is equal to 30 mg of Valium, so not such a small dose. Big Pharma marketing ploy.
