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.

I pretty much believe anyone on this crazy med. for any period of time is dependent on it, they just don't know it. I truly can't believe any physicians even prescribe this crap these days, most younger docs will not! In my opinion docs who do for more than the recommended time of up to 14 days is guilty of malpractice. BTW, malpractice is the third leading cause of death in this country, sad fact. Be careful out there.

Thanks for your input. I should have been more clear. I actually haven’t taken it until now. I did half the .5 and thought it relaxed me fine. I felt so calm. I was having a lot of fasciculations before, but they faded after I took the pill. I’ll take the .5 next time. I’m inly taking them as needed for a couple of weeks. I have started therapy and will likely need a daily med. I have to address my anxiety. It’s causing me a lot of troubles.
