Help Getting Off of Klonopin

It did not go well last night. Now I have to start from scratch at 2mg because when I attempted 1.5mg last night I got very ill. The best way that worked for me was .25mg less for a month and then another .25mg drop but, can't make it below 1.5mg over the last year. I keep hitting brick walls.

I found that out the hard way by dropping that quickly.

I have read the Ashton manual and am also following Dr Josef Witt-Doerring Psychiatrist With the Taper Clinic. His Youtube videos and taper workbook are really interesting and helpful. Have you heard of him or watched any of his videos? I am going to need all the help I can get.

I think that your reply was meant for me as I can't find an active @nicole1971 since 2013?

I will do that and I am soo happy with your progress. Thank you for being here for me.
I will print the manual but, my GP has a lot of patients and only four of his patients are on benzos so, he didn't seem interested in doing homework to educate himself on benzos. The only reason he took me on as a patient is because my other one retired. Most doctors her in the Panhandle won't prescribe benzos. Very frustrating for me and scary for me.

Do you like his approach?

I didn't know that as well about the antidepressants. I guess not one size fits all with withdrawal. I was on an antidepressant and all I know is that completely altered my outgoing personality to a zombie like state. Thank goodness I stopped taking that years ago.

I moved from Northern Virginia to the Florida Panhandle and the town has grown soo rapidly in the last 5 years that we don't have enough doctors here in those areas to cover this issue. I might suggest a neurologist to my GP as we have tons of them accepting new patients.

Google the Ashton Manual. It’s a tried and true tapering method and how I tapered my 25 year doctor prescribed Xanax addiction.

I have it on my Kindle. The only problem is that I take 2mg at one go at night before I go to bed. Not sure how to break that down?
