“The mere fact that he wasn't aware of the existence of Klonopin (and generic Clonazepam) wafers is disturbing, particularly given the fact that he is the "director of pharmacology". Any major pharmacy would stock these. The purpose of the wafers is two-fold: (1) They may be used as-needed for anticipatory anxiety (or during a panic attack), and (2) To aid in the discontinuation of the tablets. I wasn't aware that the tablet form is available in dosages under 0.5 mg, but that is good to know.”

I couldn’t agree more.  He, believe it or not is highly recommended and this scares me.  As for the tablet, I am pretty sure there is a lower dose in a tablet form unless I am mistaking.  The pharmacist gave me an information sheet that reads exactly like this:

# Drug Description
1 Clonazepam 0.5 MG Tablet APO
2 Clonazepam 0.5 MG Tablet IVX
3 Clonazepam 0.25 MG DIS TAB PAR
4 Clonazepam 0.25 MG DIS TABLBRR
5 Clonazepam 0.5 MG DIS TABLEBRR
6 Clonazepam 0.125 MG DIS TABPAR
7 Clonazepam 1 MG DIS TABLET PAR
8 Clonazepam 0.5 MG DIS TAB PAR

Now what the above info means, I have no idea.  Also thanks for the link; I will be bringing this to his attention.  My wife is actually coming with me so there is no police activity - LOL.  I am sick of getting jerked around by these doctors.

Thanks Again

Glad you kids are finally getting along :)

They have the klonopin tablet and the wafers in smaller doses.

I just got back from speaking with the pharmacist and I asked him about the lower dose of Klonopin wafers and he gave me a print out to give to my doctor.  Also, I know your are all going to nuts but I asked him about the water titration and if he thought is was ok to do and he said that is fine.  So this is why I am confused; doctors and pharmacist telling me that the water taper is ok and everyone else is telling me that it is not.  Where can I get concrete information regarding the taper is not valid so I can show them.   Thanks
