Thank you 👍. Yes , off clonazepam ( cold turkey ) not one pill since I received nerve pain after recently having shingles . Dr gave me Pregabalin, to help . This had nothing to do with my clonazepam..I figured I was on that for life ? Until after taking the 2 75(mg ) pils per day for the pain … it did help a bit but like I said before it obviously took the place of the cpam .. no need to take one in over 3 weeks now .. so now it’s only been 3-4 weeks that I’ve taken Pregabalin. But we’ve already started my tapering from the 150 mgs of Pregabalin, yesterday ..cross fingers …no Wds from Pregabalin.. but I was only on a low dose for 3 weeks so they didn’t think I’d have a problem ? But the exciting thing is that I haven’t craved or felt a wd symptom in 4 weeks…. I guess I was always scared that the cpam wds would wait for me ? 😂😂. Pharmacist laughed and said no that if I’ve had not one clonazepam in 3 weeks and 2 days ? It’s def out of my system .so nothing now ? Shingles saved my life ? They would never have thought to use Pregabalin as a substitute…but it has been used in the tapering process …

Thought this article I recently found might be helpful for some with respect to withdrawal and protracted withdrawal which I'm certain I have, although symptoms seem to be slowly improving.
