In reply to Any good meds to use during KLONOPIN withdrawal??, posted by qbsbrown on January 13, 2006, at 13:37:33
The only medication that has been partly successful in benzo withdrawal in some studies is carbamazepine and it's newer relative(metabolite) oxcarbazepine. You might wanna look into those. I would suggest switching to diazepam(valium) and then do a very very slow taper. When down to the equivalent dose of 0.25 mg clonazepam or 5 mg diazepam i would suggest switching to 3 mg eszopiclone or 10 mg zolpidem for 2 weeks and then cut the dose in half every week until completly off. I'm very tired it's almost 5 in the morning so if what i write doesn't make any sense i'm sorry i'll look at it in the morning again.
