> when i first began taking klonopin, over 3 years ago, i went out of the country and ended up staying for much longer than expected. and i just quit taking 1 mg a day of klonopin when i ran out. i did not have withdrawl, i dont remember having it. so is that any indication of how i will be able to ween myself from klonopin, say if i get pregnant or something. not planning to, not planning to ween myself anytime soon. but if it were neccessary would i be able to and hopefully not have these horrible withdrawl experiences? by the way now i am taking 1.5mg per day and have been constantly for 2.5 years. i was only taking a short time when i traveled to india, if it makes a difference. and this is the only medicine i take, besides vitamins and stuff like that. just wondering what to expect. thank you!
I think you might need to taper it if you decide to go off it. Since you've been on it much longer now, it wouldn't be a good idea just to quit it abruptly. Why suffer if you don't have to?Marsha
