Using either CBD and/or THC during Clonazepam discontinuance

Posted by lisabass @lisabass, Mar 19, 2019

Hello Everyone - I’m presently tapering off of Clonazepam. I was taking 1mg twice a day for years. Over the course of the last several months, I have gradually moved down to 0.5 mg, once a day. My last decrement was two days ago and I am now feeling moderate discontinuation symptoms. Does anyone have experience and advice using either or both CBD and THC to help lessen the discomfort? My heart is racing. I am sweating have a headache, and my head is in some kind of fog. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

You are correct...few doctors will allow you to continue with this. I am lucky that he is one of them. Klonopin is what this is called in Europe and before I returned to the US I hoarded about one years supply and glad I did as it took a while to readjust to what used to be a reliaeble, governed country. Today? I wish I had never left France. I lived sur la coline in the country) Thanks for the note and good luck. There are other drugs out there with the same properties. It is a question of finding one that will cooperate.

I wanted to provide an update. It has now been 23 nights without Klonopin and I did bridge with CBD/THC gummies and now I am sleeping without aide. It is a good feeling. I am sure that an occasional sleepless night in my future and I don't mind taking a gummy if needed, but will aim to sleep unaided. I find that reading on the sofa for a bit in low lighting helps ready me for sleep. I wish everyone on this forum success with sleep and wearing off the drug.
