"But clonazepam on only 0.50, after more than
10 years, and a withdrawal schedule lasting
a year and a half, on "metric" gradual
reduction, resulted in a seizure/stroke which
left brain and physically disabled in bed
for a month and a half - high/low blood pressure,
stumbling walk, extreme headache, coming in
and out of consciousness, unrsponsive pupils. It was rough."
If so, I have a couple of questions if you don't mind--how old were you when this happened, how was it established that the seizure/stroke was due to the K--after a year and a half of tapering you must have been at a fraction of the dose. Is it possible there were other contributing causes. On the surface this appears such an extreme reaction after that much tapering--thanks fca
