How was taking .25? I’m considering halving my .5. I haven’t tried it yet and am sensitive to meds.

When I decreased to .25mg from 1 (slowly at .75, .5, .375) , my withdrawal started big time with irritability , jitters, and insomnia. I stayed on that dose for longer than the other tapers, and found that .125mg did absolutely nothing. I then found CBD/THC gummies were a real help with the insomnia. I've been off Klonopin for almost a month and using the gummies only when needed. I am starting to feel pretty normal. This has been a 10 month process. I never knew how my body was reliant on this drug. Sometimes I miss it (only 1mg at bedtime).
But knowing that I was dependent makes going back to it no option. Once you go to .25mg, just stay there as long as you need to. It has to be a slow process to work, in my opinion. Best of luck.
