Would like to ween offf of Klonopin

[gina24405]

I am a happy person, but my brother passed in 2005 and have been on Klonopin since his death. I am ready to move forward in my life and have been taking Klonopin since 2007. My Dr. tried to help me ween off but the symptoms got too bad that she just kept me on it and never bothered with me again.  I am now ready to try again. Can you tell me how to ween off of 2 mg of Klonopin. I take one in the morning and 1 at night. Greatly appreciated.


This discussion is related to How can I safely get off of klonopin?.

Go to website the road back home. They use supplements to help you and sounds good. I am going to try and ween off as soon as my supplements arrive. Good luck to all who are trying to get off these awful meds.

Hi and welcome to the forum!
Klonopin is a medium-long acting benzos and cannot be stopped CT.
What I would do is go see an addiction specialist, establish a tapering plan and go from there.
Here's a site where you can find all the info you want

And here's an example of tapering plan for Klonopin:

I stop taking them 8 months ago but I did it c/t and it was hard to do.  I was also on oxy and lorazapam so I was a sick mess for a few weeks, honestley I would get yourself down to a half a day before I try to come off c/t, benos are no joke to come off of and I have heard that the w/d are dangerous.  I am still here though so I don't know.  I was taking 2mg several times a day and I am fine now but everyone is different.  Good luck, you can do this!
