I been addicted to these demons in the past and know how insane it is to toss them.
Today I use them when I want to and stop whenever and am finding I probably don't need them at all.
them.
I use Biotin to stop and never have any withdrawal.
The dose of Biotin is 3300% RDA. and I assure you for me it's a miracle. I use the CVS chewable ones.

Biotin means B7 ?
Have you tried the other B vitamins - B3 or B5 - or the entire B complex ?
There's also liquid and sub-lingual B vitamins...Lots of people have problems with zyprexa - do you think it would help with those withdrawal symptoms?
thanks

I took 1 mg twice daily, but still taking klonopin and it appears hopefully to work against these weird seizures better then ativan ...

no i'm still using klonopin for seizures and anxie
1 mg twice daily, my withdrawal symptoms from ativan were, bad concentration, anxiety, sweating, the usual, not feeling greatklonopin 1 mg seems to be helping against seizures and ativan 2.5 it also helped, but klonopin seems to be an anti seizure med too

Joe
I was taking 90mg Nardil and reduced to 60mg/day
As stated I just started the high dose B7/biotin.
I stopped the 4mg/day of Klonipin and of course went into total withdrawal. Started the Biotin
(3300% RDA chewable) the next day and the withdrawals disappeared.This morning I took my 60mg Nardil and was feeling
terrible. Sore, panicky, depressed, all the withdrawal symptoms.I waited several hours to see if it would ease up. That didn't happen so I popped the Biotin and within 30 minutes I felt great. No withdrawal at all.
I'll stick with the Biotin for the 30 day supply and then see what changes happen.
The way I feel right now I may even move toward reducing the Nardil some more.
I also drink a pint of Italian mineral water. It has the trace minerals selenium and lithium in it.

I was using mineral H2O from Italy but have re-started using Topo-Chico.
Mexican mineral H2O. I believe I get a huge benefit from it. Here it's in the local grocery stores. You can go to their web site to find out everywhere it's marketed.
In the 1940's researchers found less mental illness in South Texas than U.S. average. Searching they found high levels of lithium in the drinking water. Thus lithium use for bi-polar began.
My medicine is Nardil. I quit Klonipin and reduced my Nardil to 60 mg vs. 90 mg. all in one day.
I had very little withdrawal and I'm "sure" Biotin and Topo Chico is what helped.
Today I feel better than I have 7-8 yrs. My biotin is a chewable 3300% RDA from CVS and I drink @ 1 pint of the Topo Chico each day.
$9.00 30 day supply of Bioitn
$1.59 for 1.5 liter of Topo ChicoI use the Greenstone generic brand of Nardil
