In reply to Re: EMSAM-3 weeks and getting off klonopin, I hope, posted by RobertDavid on April 26, 2006, at 13:59:52
Robert David - you have said before that you are sensitive to meds - me too, extremely. Have been lowering my dose of Klonapin slowly for about a year - everytime I pinch off an eighth of a .5 mg. I suffer withdrawal symptoms after about 4 days. More anxiety, depression - just plain agitation. So - Klonapin can really be difficult. My humble advice - WAIT, maybe even a few months til you feel real stable with the Emsam and then start your K taper. .25 every two weeks is too much, I think - maybe for the first couple of cuts - but gradually go slower - let your mind and body be your guide. Don't write your detox schedule in STONE - Be Flexible. Just never go back - once you make a cut stick it out. Richard
