>>Did you have any issues with tolerance?Is that why you tapered the last time?<<
Tolerance..? I had no desire or craving to increase my dose.
I remember starting Clonz in the 90's and falling asleep everywhere. That diminished long ago. Clonazepam has actually worked better the longer I have taken it. However, I sometimes feel the 1mg tablet is not the same strength as 1mg. used to be. Is this a sign of tolerance? I remember when my provider switched me from brand name Klonopin to generic Clonazepam. The prescription stated:CLONAZEPAM 2MG(GENERIC)FOR 1MG KLONOPIN
Now my prescription bottle just says 1mg Clonazepam
Have the healthcare providers been slipping us weaker and weaker formulations. I doubt it, but I don't completely dismiss this possiblity.
With you being on Klonopin for 3-4 years, tapering off very slowly should be easy. Of course your anxiety will likely return and may be increased from your pre Klonopin days. It depends on what you were put on Klonopin for? For me, it was extreme anxiety that induced borderline psychosis caused by PTSD and and marijuana induced panic attacks.
Hope I didn't wander too far from your question?
