Any help or support would be great having zero help or support from friends or family and my husband left me. Really need someone who can understand and help me.
Want to taper off 4.5 mgs of Klonopin. I have been on it for 17 years?

In order to avoid withdrawals from this benzodiazepine you must work with your Psychiatrist, under his/her supervision and with a discontinuation schedule from your Dr., it must be done gradually, do not attempt to do it on your own and also do not stop the use of this medication abruptly.
Best of luck, masso

I know and we had a schedule set up on my terms of slow tapering. I am in tolerance Wright now my meds aren’t working right and I don’t want a increase i will just be back here again. I am just afraid to take the first step and do it. I don’t have friends or family to help me. My father has cancer and my husband left me and I am so overwhelmed. And going through tolerance. I am very worried that I can’t do this right now. I just need to have some support to say I can and will get through it.

Hi again,
You have taken the 1st steps now be strong and follow through, for you, there is still a light at the of the tunnel... life will go on, so stop feeling sorry for yourself, you are already a winner just by asking for help, now do it and move on and win this battle. You will find happiness again but it won't be easy... you will get there.
Take it one step at a time, masso
