2nd opn pls. having a hard time getting off clonazepam. on for 11 mos at 0.5 mg and one at 0.25 mg. how long should i stay on .25 before comp taper?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can start now but...: The key to getting off clonazepam is to taper slowly.Try cutting the tablet in half & then the half in half so that you take 3/4 of a 0.25 mg tablet. After a few weeks take 1/2 tablet & then a quarter. In the meantime try other methods to treat anxiety- meditation,exercise,magnesium taurate or glycinate, a good B complex, herbs like Holy Basil & counseling. A supp. called Theanine Serine can help.
