In reply to conazepam withdrawal question, posted by JohnSky on March 6, 2008, at 10:20:45
Hi JohnSky,
I reduced my dose in a similar way to you. It took about 2 weeks for the withdrawal to even out. It's better to reduce gradually if possible. For me, once the Nardil kicked in, I just stopped clonazepam cold turkey and felt fine. I just didn't have a need for it. Hope everything goes well for you, keep us updated.

> I have been on 3.5mg if clonazepam for a couple years. My doc recently took me from 3.5 to 2.5mg in a week and two weeks later I am having tough withdrawal sysmptoms. Things are getting a little better each day. How long will it take before the withdrawal sysmptoms back down and what supplements can I take to help? Going forward my doc and I agreed to stay at my current level for several weeks... wait for the Nardil to help my depression... and then slowly reduce by .25mg every couple weeks. Any thoughts on what has worked well for others on how to withdrawal in a manner to minimize all the tough withdrawal symptoms? This week has been hell but I want to get through this change and sit tight for awhile and then go very slowly.
