In reply to Clonazepam tapering crisis - suggestions?, posted by wearybuthopeful on April 22, 2005, at 10:09:54
> Hello all. I could use some help. After being on Clonazepam for several years (most recently at 1 mg. at night for sleep & anxiety) my doc wants me off. He insists I taper in one month and I'm down to .25 mg. I've been using Benadryl and sometimes Tylenol PM. Went up to .50 one night, but will run out of meds quickly if that rate is continued.
You might want to place the burden on the doctor to manage your discontinuation of Klonopin. Call him and let him know the trouble you are having. Let him come up with a taper schedule of his own. Maybe he'll see the need to provide you with more medication.
Aside from insomnia, what other withdrawal symptoms are you experiencing?
