If your doctor is: tapering your dose, he or she should ALSO be telling you how to manage your anxiety without it, either through other medications (like buspirone or antidepressants) and/or through non-pharmacological management techniques like relaxation therapies, meditation, yoga and others. Please talk to your doctor and/or get a referral to a therapist. Taking it ONCE won't hurt taper, but more often will.

A 35-year-old member asked:
Hello, how can I safely taper off 0.5 mg Klonopin? I used to take 1-2mg per day for 10 years. Two months ago, I cut down to only 0.5mg but did it so fast that I did experience intense rebound anxiety/panic attacks. I remain on 0.5mg 1x a day. Thanks
