Cubbybear,
Definitely taper! Please! It's DANGEROUS to do otherwise especially if you have been on clonazepam for a long time.
I tapered. I had a fairly easy time with it. ALL GOOD DOCTORS give taper schedules because of the danger of quitting cold turkey.
I ate a balanced diet and I take supplements anyway. Maybe it helped. But definitely taper. Don't end up in the emergency room.
Blessings Simcha
> Are you serious? Are you telling me that one should NOT taper off this medication? Are you hinting that I should go cold turkey? The end of your post is vague, you don't mention what your "secret" method is, and you cite one outrageous incident as a basis for your argument with few details--not to mention the well-known fact that everyone's experience with drugs, as well as withdrawing from them, is different. I have been using a number of posts on this board as a basis for my tapering system, taking one day at a time and doing pretty decently with it. I'm not going to be a fool and go cold turkey at this point (1.5 mg) if that's what you'are getting at.
