Walker: clonazepam / Klonopin

[Walker]

I have attempted to go off Clonazapam over the last eighteen months. Different doctors have thrown out uninformed advice. I would appreciate learning how others went off the drug.

Hi, Walker.

 

Welcome to Surviving Antidepressants.

 

Are you on any other drugs besides clonazepam? 

 

Please add a signature.  Include drugs, doses, dates, and discontinuations & reinstatements in the last 12-24 months. Also include supplements. This will help us give you the most accurate advice we can. 

• Any drugs and supplements prior to 24 months ago can just be listed with start and stop years. 
• Please use actual dates or approximate dates (mid-June, Late October) rather than relative time frames (last week, 3 months ago) 
• Spell out months, e.g. "October" or "Oct."; 9/1/2016 can be interpreted as Jan. 9, 2016 or Sept. 1, 2016. 
• Please leave out symptoms and diagnoses. 
• A list is easier to understand than one or multiple paragraphs. 
• This is a direct link to your signature:  Account Settings – Create or Edit a signature.

As you provide more information, we can help guide you through your taper.
