tapering off 1mg of klonopin - advice ? need help
hi i’ve been on klonopin for 5 years now. right now im down to 1mg. i suffer from interdose withdrawal and rebound anxiety. i want to just be free from this. my psychiatrist is supportive of my self-taper and also wants me to come off of it and says we can go as slow as i need. i was down to .87mg on the self taper (i have 2 .5 tablets ive been quartering up)
i ended up going back to 1mg as my anxiety was just so bad. i can’t seem to get past .75mg (lowest i’ve ever gotten) after trying for the last year. i don’t know what to do it seems i’ll be stuck on it forever, and it doesn’t even work anymore it just keeps me from feeling extremely awful, but i experience withdrawal even on my 1mg dose.
does anyone have any advice or just any hope that it can get better for me? anything that helps withdrawals? i’m scared of having seizures, and withdrawals affecting my functionality.
my psych recommended inpatient but unfortunately i can’t do that for a multitude of reasons.
for more context i take once daily, before bed. maybe splitting up the dose throughout the day is more helpful?
thanks so much
