25 years on Clonzapaem
Hi. I'm 43 and I've been on Clonzapaem since I was 18. I used to be on 4mgs and now I'm on 2. I need to get off this shit. I also have PCOS and ADHD. The last time I tried to get off Clonzapaem, my doctor told me to "chip away at it." I thought I could do it in a summer (when I'm not teaching) but the zaps and inability to form sentences (serious brain fog and a bit of unexpected stuttering occurred).
I now want to taper off my 2mg because I doubt it even works and it's just terrible stuff. I have a new doctor who is currently helping me reduce my Prozac from 80 to 40mg. We haven't discussed the process for the benzo yet but she already told me l need to get off of it. I shared my first attempt with her. She knows.
I'm so scared about the quality of my life as I taper off. I don't care how many years it takes, but I want it out of my system.
Is this a reality for someone who's been taking it for 25 years?
I also take Adderall 30 XR.
