Anyone had issues while tapering off of 1mg clonazepam (Klonopin)?

@rosebookay agree

@gunshy not two years. Here’s how I tapered .5 Ativan

I could not read the chart, but that's ok, as I am klonopin and my dose is apx. 8 times stronger. So glad you are off it. It must be such a relief.

I’ve been on Clono since 1996. Have tried 3 times in detox. All they do is pump you full of phenobarbital and no therapy. I have what’s called PAWS - post acute withdrawal syndrome. After a few days of coming home from rehab, my body goes psycho. I can’t walk, talk, eat or sleep. It is the worst feeling ever. I’m a 71 year old female and my PCP told me no more detox. At my age I might as well stay on it. I take 1mg, 3x daily. In the past I’ve been on Zoloft, Paxil, just to name a few and quit cold turkey with only brain zaps to deal with. I’m weaning off gabapentin very slowly and tried cold turkey with Cymbalta. Doing good on the gaba but the cymbalta was giving me very bad brain zaps, not sleeping or eating. It’s 60mg so now I’m taking it every other day. I’m tired of paying for and taking meds that do not work. The clono helps only a little if I have a panic attack or bad anxiety but I have to keep taking it so I don’t go into seizures. The majority of detox centers have no clue how to wean someone off something they’ve been on for many years. The Ashton Method is the only safe way but depending upon your dose, it can take 2 years to get off clono. I know what y’all are going through with pain and anxiety and I wish all the luck in the world to y’all.
