Weaning off Clonazepam
by gitl, Jun 04, 2009 08:58AM
Dear Dr. Gould,
I started taking Clonazepam on 20.5.2009 (2x 0.5mg - morning and evening), after 2 days (starting 22.5.09) I started taking only 1x 0.5mg per day - in the evenings. I have just started noticing, however, that taking Clonazepam is probably agrevating my back injury pain and symptoms, so I would like to get off the drug completely. Given the details I've posted here (It's been only 2 weeks since I started at all, what is the fastest (while safe) way I could wean off this drug?
Thank you very much and G' bless you for your previous advice which saved me from a lot of unnecessary pain.
