> my experience with klonopin was great while i was on it, for about a year, i had to raise the dose slowly to about 4 mg. i eventually wanted to get off, and i slowly tapered. when i finally went off, i got photophobia, and phonphobia and other werid withdrawl symptoms, and a month later had a grand-mal seizure out of the blue. i fell on concerete unconsious and have had some brain damage from that ever since...

> i will never go on a benzos again. i followed all thew precautions and now im messed up. im waitying for pregabalin which looks safer. i do not recomend benzos, i think they are only good for short term and its reckless to be on them long term.

> jlbl2lJust wondering, over how long time you spread the taper off? Was it a very slow taper ?
