> The "not more than 10% per week" is not written in stone. It is just a suggestion to make the process of withdrawal a little easier. If the medicine is decreased in nearly imperceptible increments, the withdrawal will be less painful.
> Some people have no trouble tapering faster, while others may rebound or have other complications if they taper too fast. Also, remember that you should not discontinue benzodiazapines too quickly. I know about the difficulty of having crumbs from trying to cut medicines. That's why I suggested getting a liquid form of Klonopin, if it is available.thanks for your info, Bekka, I don't know ig the Klonopin is available in liquid form here; I live in Thailand (plan to return to the U.S. hopefully within the next few months). I somehow doubt if it is.
