your taper plan is fine
the best thing for you to do is stop the meds
if you go into detox they will get them out of your system in less that a week
better you go through withdrawl now than your infant child
congradulations on the pregnancy, i hate that you have to face these descions, this should be a happy time for you
once the drugs are out, you can focus on getting ready for baby
i also wanted to tell you that many ob/gyns would prefer to keep their patients medicated then deal with a taperering patient, after all,, its not their baby!!
you can ask your doc. but keep in mind that this is something you need to deal with, he will not be there in a few years if complications arise
It is IMPERATIVE that you speak with the MD who prescribed the clonazepam before abruptly discontinuing it, in addition to speaking with your OB/GYN.
Best Wishes.
Hi Jen
I take klonopins too.
I only take .5 total a day, but advised to take more, but I wont.
I think you should start to cut your 1mg pills in quarters, and start off your taper by something like, in the morning take .25 mg, then at night .50 mg, and do that for a week or so, then gradually just start going lower.
Everyones different, but youve been on it long enough that your bodyu couldve been addicted to it.
My Doc told me withdraw isnt really that bad when people like us are at a LOW mg, and with a taper method it should be mild.
