In reply to 10+ years of Klonopin, poop out, tapering?, posted by joe schmoe on December 8, 2012, at 14:26:40
Well a few days ago I continued the gradual taper down to .25 mg AM/.125 mg PM (daily baseline of 1 mg/1mg clonazepam).
Starting to get some really unpleasant withdrawal effects. Had some bad social anxiety at .25/.25 but at .25/.125 I really have started getting weird symptoms like tingling and numb hands when I wake up, stiff neck, the runs, sweating, racing heartbeat etc.
No fun. Drinking alcohol helps in the evenings to some extent. Not recommended I know, but, I need some relief now and then.
Also am very sensitive to stimuli now, every sound seems too loud. On the plus side, sexual sensation is greatly enhanced.
