In reply to Withdrawing from Klonopin - Ideas?, posted by RobertDavid on May 17, 2009, at 23:02:58
I take klonopin and have no plans to go off it right now. The weaning schedule I have used before and that my newphew used successfully was one quarter of one of your doses every 3 WEEKS. You can't go too slowly getting off klonopin.
But you can go too fast. I got creepy crawly feelings like I had bugs on my arms the last time I quit. You can easily get withdrawal symptoms that mimic barbituate withdrawal.
If I were you, from what you've said about yourself, I wouldn't drink. It really confounds the effects of AD and anti-anxiety meds.
By the way, klonopin can definitely be disinhibiting in too high doses. Landed my brother with a restaining order from a soon to be ex-wife and a weekend in the hospital.Zana
I really am going to the gym now.
