Hi.
I'm sorry that things didn't work out moving from 2.0 to 1.5mg (25% decrease) with the Klonopin. I was hoping it would.
> 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?
According to many "experts", reducing a BZD dosage by 10% at a time is prudent. 0.125mg certainly falls within this range. I think each person's withdrawal experience is somewhat unique and must allow for a certain amount of flexibility in the tapering process. You will learn how your body responds to dosage decreases along the way and become better able to choose when to take the next step downward, the amount of decrease, and for how long.
How long were you planning to remain at each dosage?
How many times a day do you plan to take it?
>It was frightening how going back to the original dose made me feel "normal".
I know. You must feel like you are to be chained forever to the stuff.
Don't worry, you'll make it.
