What is the best way to taper off Klonopin?

Researchers don't recommend Seroquel as a sleep aid and I doubt a good doctor would prescribe it as a sleeping aid. Speaking for myself, I definitely wouldn't use it for that purpose.
as far as Klonopin is concerned, it took me over 2 years to get off it but I had no withdrawals. Remember Klonopin is a sedative so if you have sleeping problems those is sure may well return.
I had sleep problems and reset my circadian rhythm and used good sleep hygiene, which worked for me.
The ideal way to get off KLONOPIN in my opinion would be to use a compounding pharmacy and have the doctor write a prescription to reduce it by 5 to 10% every 3 to 4 weeks.
Your doctor will probably squawk at the compounding pharmacy and think it should be tapered quicker. If it’s important for you to get off quicker, you most likely will pay the consequence of having withdrawals for awhile.
Good luck,
Jake

Be on something else. I don’t know yet. It will be 8 months by then .5mg 4 x a day for anxiety. But it’s now giving me a bit of depression and isn’t also working. My body tingles so much.
I’d rather have no anxiety. Developed out of the blue!

Jake thank you. My doc also gave me vistaril which I’ve been taking to sleep but now it’s not working. I’ve not slept in about 8 days. I don’t have any other symptoms except racing mind at night.
How did you reset?
