Hi Scott!
>Perhaps Valium would be easier to discontinue than Klonopin for reasons that would be unclear to me.
In the UK at least, diazepam comes in 2mg tablets and as a 2mg/5ml oral solution. These can be used to taper in very small steps if necessary, the 2mg tablets can easily be divided into quarters. Clonazepam comes as 500mcg tablets, 500mcg of clonazepam is equivalent to quite a lot of diazepam. Also, we don't have a clonazepam oral solution. Diazepam oral solution can be used if very small reductions are needed, an oral syringe can easily be used to measure out doses as small as 0.2mg!
