A month is not a long enough taper for long term use of Klonopin. It should be done over many months just a little bit at a time. I had to taper off 1mg and did it over about 8 months, and I still take a 0.125mg occasionally. I was taking it a bedtime for 15 years. Wonder drug until it wasn't allowed. Apparently several years back, it was given a black box warning and that makes it much harder to get. However, the brain changes that occur with long term regular use need time to heal and very slowly. I tried L-theanine and it gave me hives. I'm finding acupuncture helpful. Best of luck.

I agree with you about slower tapering off . This new doctor told me to quit taking it in 2 weeks. I extended it to a month.
Thank you for your comment.
