Relief from Klonopin withdrawals; weaning from Klonopin?

I agree some doctor's do know and I should have said that. I apologize for offending you as that was not my intention and I surely did not mean to mislead anyone. I do however, tell anyone that messages me to be up front and honest with their doctor. I will continue offering my help to anyone wanting off benzos as I so wished someone would have been there for me :)

Thanks Pamee. We're good.

Dear Ben1187, I am sorry you are having such severe withdrawal symptoms from Klonopin.Different drugs behave in different ways .I was on Klonopin for about a year then was weaned off it using Valium 5 mg after 4 days I was doing well on Valium and had stopped Klonopin completely though doc has asked me to continue taking Valium 5mg and Mirtazepine 30 mg for 2 months.This has helped me & I am doing fairly well on both drugs.You can always consult with your doc regarding this.

Your best bet if you are going to do this by yourself is to put it in your mind that you can.Start by decreasing your dosage daily,if you take three a day try to get comfortable with two,time of day is a big factor so work on when you feel right with taking them.Get comfortable with the two and move on.They break in half and quarters.But move at your own pace.Willingness and strength.You may feel some discomfort but done right you will be able to do this.All amounts can be tapered off if done right.Good luck,be strong,God bless.

I think reading comments even if they are contradicting each other is fine.
Each person can give their own input and the people needing help can decide which way to go .
What I'm saying is

There is no right or wrong answer .
What works for one etc,

I need advice on how to taper off of klonopin... I have been on 1 mg @ night and .5 in the morning for about 8 months... Is there a way to do this without rebound anxiety... Hoping to hear from someone soon... all you hear/see on the internet is horror stories... I need some positive input... Thanks, Gina

I ran out of my 1 mg 3 times a day as a result of taking more than the 3 .. up to four a day.. I get 3 months supply at a time (270) and during the first two months of receiving those, my only daughter had a miscarriage and my anxiety spiralled, and i ended up running 10 days short at the end of my supply. I called my psychiatrist and asked for help, i was honest, but the doctor refused to give me any more. Needless to say, i have been very I'll and afraid of how I'm feeling. I found some very old Ativan in my medicine cabinet and took those, but because Ativan is only half as strong as klonopin, my relief didnt last long. I'm three days from my regular refill date and i am suffering terribly as i ran out of the old Ativan five days ago. I have never run so short before, and I feel I'm being treated like a common criminal. The many suffer for the sins of the few.

I've been on 2 mg klonopin for 3 years. I want to try valium then taper off. The problem is I did not get the prescription for klonopin my friend quit and I kept wanting them so he just kept getting them for me. Should I go to doctor and tell the truth or what? I've been having severe panic attacks aND a few seizures almost had to call 911.

I would love to talk to you about that to.
Not sure how to pm you here
My dr decided that I should take 1/2 pill a week less to get off
He's an idiot and knows nothing

I think I want to get offf before I didn't care cause I knew the horrid withdrawal but I want to think of it
Cross over drugs are things docs should think of

Hi, I am trying to get off clonazepam, and I can't, it's beyond hell I end up in the we with bad anxiety attacks. I've been on it 15 years. I can't eat when I'm off it I went four days and lost 5 pounds, I already weigh 105. Does Valium really help to lessen the withdrawal symptoms and then when do you stop taking Valium? Thanks, I'm losing hope here.

My recommendation is to taper very slowly. Dedicate a lot of time to tapering, especially if you've been on cloneazepam for over a year. I was on 1mg a day for a little over a year, and when I decided I didn't want to take it anymore, I spent about 4-5 months tapering off. More gradual, the better. Accept you will have some withdrawal symptoms and tell yourself this is normal. I've often seen recommendations that are way too quick (ex: cutting dose in half every week).

I also recommend looking up the "Ashton Manual". this explains everything about Benzos and withdrawing from them.

Can you help me get off Klonopin? I have been taking this stuff for 6 months first .5 mg and now 1 mg. I take it for anxiety and to sleep.

If you are not a physician, you should not manage someone’s medications. Especially someone tapering of off a controlled substance

I got my doctor to give me a written schedule of how to taper off of Klonopin/clonazepam so ask your doctor and I'm sure if it's time to get off they'll too give you a schedule to wean off. Depending on the amount you are on, they will write the schedule for that amount, yes in a few months it'll take to wean but better to have the doctor behind you on this one. Good luck to anyone tapering off, I am now myself, 4 weeks in!

Klonopin has a 30 /40 hr half life. It will not be in your body for 4 to 8 days... You can expect withdrawals 1 to 3 days after last dose. Educate yourself before posting incorrect and misleading info

No Klonopin will be OUT of your system in 4 to 8 days. Klonopin has as half life up to 30 hour which means after 5 half lives 150 hours or 6 days its out of your body. Don't post if you are uninformed.
