I mentioned getting some benzodiazepines in my last post, Klonopin or any other long acting ones. Out of what I've found so far this post from another board might be the most helpful as they've been in your situation. They also mention Klonopin.
"The best way to come off of this drug is to do it over a 3-4 week period by gradually reducing the daily dose, then for one week( week 3) take the lowest dose 3 times that week, then the last week, every third day, and then stop. stay on klonopin as a buffer, then do the same for klonopin when you are ready. Its hard to say what you should expect in symptoms on this regime, maybe nothing except a few days of feeling a little bit odd, or off, until your natural rhythyms return. Be careful about what you read, suggestion plays a big part in the experience."
Remember Michael, It's never easy comming of chemicals you've been taking for a while, you have to do it slowly, expect a few s*itty weeks and look forward to freedom. You can do it man. I'll keep looking out for more info. Good luck.
