p,I got down to 12.5mg zoloft,and kept trying to break it into pieces.I finally read about a dr who just has his pt's stop when they get that low,he says it increases and prolongs withdrawal to keep going lower and lower once you get down so far.I was on up to 37.5mg,so not a big dose,for about 2 or 3 yrs.Ive lost almost all the weight I gained from it!Just stopping it was easier than prolonging the taper.Now,the benzos are a whole diff. thing,so I dont know what to expect.I do know I dont like it at all when I try to taper klonopin.I feel miserable.I just know that I dont want to be on any pill for the rest of my life,and I know this one's gonna be tough,so I want to keep giving it a shot.I do so many things to help with my anxiety and depression,esp exercise,nutrition.I want to rely on those things to keep me straight.I want to rely on klonopin as needed, not daily.That's my goal.I believe I will always have a benzo in my back pkt. since anxiety will be a part of my life forever.Worrying about taking the klonopin is worse to me, than staying on it.But,Im still on it,so difficult to stop it.
And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. Anias Nin
