What's the best way to wean off .5mg clonazepam i've been taking for 10 days ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Should be easy: Your dosage is low and the time on it relatively brief so it shouldn't be a big problem . If you are taking it once/day break the pill in half for 2 days and then take it every other day for 2 days & then stop. If you have been taking it 2x day do the same thing but 1st switch to once per day and then every other day. The anxiety that you originally had when you started the meds may return.
