Okay,I'm starting all over with the Klonopin taper,and am going to do it Scott's way,as I found that the 2mg cut immediately to 1.5mg proved to be too much as of yesterday.
I was depressed,extremely tired but wired,jaw tight,ears plugged,anxious,etc. I decided this is enough--I just got off a 5year Zyprexa habit 4 months ago,stopped trazodone a week or two ago,then the Klonopin before I was even feeling back to normal from the former. Plus there's been alot of stress in my life that I hadn't really considered,my father died of cancer 7 months ago(bless his soul),I quit smoking a year ago.
So I called my Pdoc yesterday and after explaining all of the above,said it was just too much to ask right now. He represcribed the 2mg(.5mg 4x a day)again.
Now,I want to do this right. And I want as little wd as possible for the next month. So I was wondering,is tapering .125 a day a good start? I've also cut the Restoril to 15,since I only used it a few days.
Scott,can you help me out here? I feel so much better now,I was completely dysfunctional yesterday and the later the day before. It was frightening how going back to the original dose made me feel "normal".Thanks,Hlar
