Hi.
> In the mean time I've started reducing my dose -- maybe too fast. I went from 3 mg per day down to 2.5 mg. On Monday I plan to drop to 2 mg if things are going OK.
You might want to check out the Withdrawal board for some ideas as to how to go about discontinuing Klonopin. I would consider using a flexible-dosing strategy in which one takes very small doses of drug whenever withdrawal symptoms appear - but not sooner. It's like taking aspirin for a headache only when the headache reappears. You might end up dosing several times a day. I believe this method helps "nudge" the system into re-regulating itself.
