In reply to Klonopin Withdrawl, posted by optimistic on August 5, 2002, at 15:36:14
> I stopped all AD's several months ago but I am still on .5mg. Klonopin which I have been taking for about 1 1/2 years. I usually take it at night to help sleep. I have tried to cut this to .25mg but each time I try to decrease the dose the next day I wind up with all sorts of uncomfortable reactions. Dizziness, nausea, palpatations, extreme nervousness, jitteriness, mental clouding etc. Is this a withdrawl reaction and if so how do I overcome it?? Please help.
Hi,This is interesting. I have cut back on clonazepam from .5mg at bedtime to .25mg at bedtime for the last two weeks. I agree with kate that you need to drop it very slowly. One "trick" I have used the past couple of weeks is to take 25mg of OTC Benadryl at bedtime to help sleep. I don't think I would have slept well if I hadn't added it.
So, all three of us are dropping down Klonopin?
