klopin and xanax

[bgaffer]

Hi Ryan, I have been taking 2mg of clonazepam 2x daily for about a year and I was taking 2mg of xanax for traveling on air plains not daily. That has stopped I am now taking around 8mg of xanax a day and 6 mg of clonazepam a day. Plus I take 100mg of zoloft daily. I have been doing this for about the last six months. I would actually like to stay on the clonazepam at my original dosage but I want to get of the xanax and someday the zoloft as well.

Ryan is no longer responding to medication questions on this forum.

You well know that none of us on this forum are doctor's or pharmacists, but it's my humble and non-medical opinion that you are on way too many meds at far too high a dosage!
8mg qd (every day) of Xanax is a very large dose! You are also taking 6mg of clonazepam qd. and 100mg of Zoloft.

You state that you've been taking this amount for "about" the last 6 months.
Whatever you do, do NOT cold turkey ANY of these meds! I would also suggest you don't try this on your own. These are very potent medications and at the doses you're on, you need someone highly knowledgeable in psychotropic meds to get you SAFELY off them!

I would STRONGLY suggest you get yourself in front of a psychiatric medication manager, (PMM) and work out a taper plan to acheive your goals of getting off everything except the Klonopin.
PMM's can be found in almost every psychiatric clinic, at hospitals or through your local Health Dept. Your regular GP should also be able to refer you to one.

I wish you the very best
Peace
