Yes, withdrawal can be severe and debilitating to some and even 0.5mg of klonopin will be a lot for sensitive guys. I am not here to argue, but since we have a wonderful forum here to discuss our experiences with medicines, I don't think we will have to rely on a bunch of benzophobics who never might have helped anyone. Have you ever tried to check how many recognized experts are there on that board? Their valium substitution hypothesis is the contribution of Dr. Ashton who herself is a real benzophobic like my current psycdoc. (One word this valium thing shouldn't necessarily work for everyone and it is not at all a universally accepted method to taper xanax. From anecdotes and published studies, I do believe klonopin is much better to substitute xanax and it much easier than valium to withdraw. According to American Psychiatric Association Valim, Xanax and Ativan are the most reinforcing agents among benzos and subsequently have the most abuse potential.
I am not trying to play politics here. But relying on benzo.org will do more harm than good. We have psychobabble to support ourselves.
