In reply to p.s. the relative virtues of clonazepam, posted by Squiggles on August 4, 2002, at 9:27:10
Hi Squiggles,
Glad to hear the symptoms are better. Can I ask what dose you are on now, versus the dose you were on a couple years ago before you went off? How much higher is it?
Is your peripheral neuropathy better? how much better? Do you still get myoclonic stuff like you described a while back?
A couple days ago I woke up with both hands symmetrically numb, just from the middle finger over to the little finger. Ulnar nerve. I straightened my arms and it passed. Thought of you, of course. Going ahead with my taper schedule of stopping klonopin anyhow -- been doing 0.125 mg every other day for about a week now and soon going to zero to see what happens. I have (as I know I've said before) other hormonal things as well so not sure what the cause of that transient numbness was. As long as its transient.
Take care and thanks for reporting your struggles. Klonopin seems to be a weird one.
Kate
