[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I went off Klonopin, but I didn't have any side effects.  i just gradually tapered off, and all was well.  It sounds like you are coming off of it too fast.  I would talk to the doctor, and if s/he approves, maybe do a maintenace dose of .5 mg and then slowly come off of that.[/quote]

Op here: I'm so sad to say I talked w my doc and I have to go take it and try to taper slower.  I can't sleep, I'm nauseated, shaky, racing heart, phenomenonal anxiety, the list endless.  What did you use as a taper?  I want to be aggressive about it but be more sensible.  I'm honestly so ashamed. :([/quote]

There is NO taper for klonopin. You'll need to break the pill into practically crumbs and only decrease your daily amount by a quarter each week. If you are shaking, you have quit too steeply.[/quote]

Are you a doctor?  I'm not being sarcastic.  My doc seems to have just general knowledge and I'd love someone who knows this better...[/quote]
