A member asked:
Taken clonazepam (0.5mg) (klonopin) 1-2 times a week (sometimes 3) for a few weeks to help insomnia. can i safely stop taking anytime at this dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes....: It is not so much the dose, but the frequency that let's me say that. If you really have not taken it more than 2 or 3 ( at most) times in a week for a few weeks, then you should not have a problem. However, even at this dose(0.5), if you were taking it almost every night, even for 3 weeks, it might be difficult to stop taking it.
