Klonopin Withdrawal Question

Klonopin Withdrawal Question

Hi.  This is the third time in the past year that I have gone cold turkey off of Klonopin.  Each time the dose that I withdrew from has been less....First time, 3 mg, second time, 2 mg, this time, 1 mg  Each time the first several weeks are agonizing, but the end result lasts for many months at a time.  The only reason I went back on Klonopin at a lower dose, with a doctor, has been major external stressors, post traumatic stress disorder to be exact due to an abusive relationship.  Now, the withdrawal symptoms are much easier to handle than the first few times, but still difficult to get through.  Do you have any suggestions for staying off of Klonopin for good without going back to my prescribed dose first?

That's not a safe thing to do. I went off Klonopin too rapidly years ago (even though I had permission to do so) and had full body withdrawal symptoms. Ask your psychiatrist for a titration schedule to lower it or discontinue it if they give you permission and then they could see whether you need it or not and at what dose.
