In reply to tapering off klonopin--not by choice, posted by ursala on July 7, 2004, at 20:13:59
.5 mgs per day is a pretty small dose. Several factors may determine if a fast taper is going to work out alright for you:
What did you dose down from as your highest dosing?
How fast did you actually wean down?
How long have you been on .5 mgs per day?
How long have you been on Klonopin routinely?
How long have you "gone without"?
Do you have a seizure history?From what I understand seizures from abrupt discontinuing tend to show themselves rather quickly. Other withdrawal symptoms can become apparent quickly or over time. I'm no expert, but I did look deeply into information on weaning and discontinuation symptoms as I weaned off Klonopin several months ago.
Do you plan to resume Klonopin if you find a doc to prescribe? I ask curiously.
