Klono taper...wish me luck!

After a year and a half of taking 1.5-2.0 mg Klonopin daily (a medication I have since become desensitized to), I finally feel stable (stable...not cured by any means) enough to start tapering off. No I'm not going to switch over to valium because that seems like a real pain in the ass and my psych thinks its probably worth a shot trying the simple route first and coming down by 0.125 mg every two weeks.

Of course I've heard of the benzo horror stories and now it's my turn to find if I'm to be victimized next.

Fingers crossed.

Hi,

A direct taper from klonopin is difficult but possible. A valium x-over would probably help ease the pain. It sounds to me like you are on an intelligent, SLOW withdrawal schedule. I hope it work out for you.
