Help Getting Off of Klonopin

Posted by mcoleman1971 @mcoleman1971, Aug 20, 2025

I have been on Klonopin for 25 years at 2mg per day and want to get off of this horrible medication. My GP here doesn't know how to help me and since I live in a small town we don't have any therapists that would be able to help me as well. I do not wish to go to a rehab center and need support through what I am going to be going through over the next year.

@gunshy - sorry this has been such a rough road. I would definitely suggest finding a good doctor to walk you through this.

Tapers off numerous mental health medications are super tough, and I've experienced it myself. I've even had to provide feedback along the way to my doctor overseeing a taper that something was going amiss. The right doctor will respond quickly and then adjust things for you.

Your pharmacist, providing you trust them, may have some good suggestions of a doctor who might walk you through this.

How are you doing today?

I am doing slightly better and am thinking about compounded capsules and a three time a day schedule to stop the 11 pm shaking
